RAEL’S COMMENT:
It’s illegal in International laws to cut power for embassies if bills are paid.
The Venezuelan Embassy in Washington DC was plunged into darkness after the US authorities shut down power in the building. The anti-coup activists hunkered down inside say they are not leaving despite the blackout.
After weeks of tense standoff between the ‘Embassy Civilian Protection Collective’ and supporters of US-backed opposition leader Juan Guaido outside the Venezuelan diplomatic compound, the US authorities attempted to drive the temporary occupants out by depriving them of electricity.
In a statement on Twitter posted by one of the group’s members, independent journalist Alex Rubinstein, an activist says that the loss of electric power won’t coerce them into abandoning their mission – to protect the embassy from a takeover by Juan Guaido appointees.
“We expected this, we’ve prepared for it and we are not leaving,” the activist is seen saying in total darkness, his face lit by a candle.
