California Coalition Urges Congress and DC Allies to Advocate for the Release of American Eyvin Hernandez, a Los Angeles Public Defender, Being Unlawfully Detained in Venezuela
On Wednesday, November 16, 2022, the Coalition to Bring Eyvin Hernandez Home, which includes his family and friends, will hold a morning press event to shed light on his unjust captivity. The speakers will discuss how Mr. Hernandez came into the custody of the Venezuelan government, his “wrongfully detained” status, how they felt when he was not included in the October 1st humanitarian hostage exchange that freed 7 U.S. Nationals and permanent residents in Venezuela, and their efforts to seek support from Capitol Hill and the Biden Administration to bring Mr. Hernandez home immediately. Mr. Hernandez has been held in Venezuela since March 2022, more than 7 months.
