An Italo-Venezuelan woman arrested on
August 2 amid a bloody crackdown on protests against the
allegedly fraudulent re-election of Venezuelan President Nicolas
Maduro has been isolated in a room, not in jail, and is in good
health, a Sicilian centre right MP told ANSA Sunday.
Rita Capriti, 45, whose family is originally from Mirto near
Messina, "is said to be isolated in a room and not in a cell and
is in good health, Commissioner Jose Dellacroiz, the prison's
manager, assures," said Forza Italia MP and local mayor
Bernardette Grasso.
"But the visit of the honorary vice-consul was not allowed.
"In the coming days he will try again to obtain permission to
meet her", said Grasso.
