Maduro’s Wife Appears in NY Court with Visible Injuries

DID Press: Cilia Flores, Nicolás Maduro’s wife, appeared in a New York courtroom with bruising beneath her eye and a bandage on her forehead — an image that has sparked wide public reaction.

Critics, pointing to the signs of beating on her face, described the situation as evidence of the United States’ lack of commitment to democratic principles and human-rights values.

Four days earlier, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were detained and transferred to the United States following a U.S. military incursion — an action that triggered a wave of strong international criticism directed at Washington.
