    Uruguayan released in Venezuela slept in his building's hallway after finding home taken by his captor

    Originally from Uruguay, Breijo arrived in Venezuela in 1979 to work as a cook

    Uruguayan-Venezuelan citizen José Breijo, 70, on Wednesday recovered the apartment that had been confiscated during his imprisonment in Caracas, after spending several days sleeping in the building's hallway because one of the police officers who had arrested him in 2023 was occupying his home. The case, documented by the AFP news agency, illustrates the pattern of home confiscations denounced by Venezuelan political prisoners and exiled opposition figures during recent years.
