The agency has 72 hours to leave the country, marking a “drastic hardening” of conditions inside the South American nation.

A United Nations agency that monitors and defends human rights was ordered on Thursday to leave Venezuela by the government of President Nicolás Maduro, an extraordinary move that will further strip the country of foreign oversight at a time when its government stands accused of intensifying repression.

The announcement by Yván Gil, the foreign minister, comes just days after the detention and disappearance of Rocío San Miguel, a prominent security expert and human rights advocate.

    Hahaha.

    Welcome to Media’s Bias Fact Check, the site where everything’s made up and the ratings don’t matter.

    It’s so ridiculously biased, I remember an Indian paper getting good marks for everything but they rated it extremely low because they didn’t provide links to things - as if any other paper does that.

    The site is the subjective opinion of one guy, it’s not meaningful.

      Actually many other papers will cite sources, having no checkable sources is a perfectly valid reason to have your credibility questioned.
