Venezuela
Recalls Ambassador To Peru In Protest To Asylum
Of Opposition Leader
Caracas - Venezuela has
recalled its ambassador to Peru to protest
the country's granting political asylum to a
Venezuelan opposition leader, reports said.
In a statement issued on Monday, the
Venezuelan government said Peru should have
arrested and extradited Manuel Rosales, and
the case prompted it to "evaluate" its
diplomatic relations with Peru.
Rosales, once a presidential candidate, is
an opponent of President Hugo Chavez and
faces corruption charges back home.
Rosales appeared in Peru last week. He
argued that he suffered persecution in
Venezuela and all the charges against him
were politically motivated.
