On Saturday, May 4, Tighe Barry, a CODEPINK member of the Venezuela Embassy Protection Collective, was arrested outside the Venezuela Embassy. As he was trying to put up a canopy next to the building (the pro-Guaidó people have 10 canopies along the perimeter
of the embassy), he was mobbed by a violent pro-Guaidó crowd, who pushed him into a Secret Service police officer. Barry was then arrested and falsely charged with assaulting the policeman, and he is still in jail. We are certain that this arrest was politically
motivated and baseless (as would be evidenced in any video). </p>

<strong class="">The right-wing, pro-Guaidó crowd have illegally and dangerously put the building under siege, keeping us from getting inside and preventing us from bringing food or medicines to our team already inside. Unfortunately, the Secret Service is
working with them, as evidenced by Tighe Barry’s false arrest.</strong></p>

Our Embassy Protection Collective has been peacefully and legally living in the embassy since April 15 at the invitation of the Venezuelan government. Our goal is to keep it from being illegally turned over Guaidó forces. We are waiting for some arrangement
between the US and Venezuela governments to put both countries’ embassies—the Venezuelan Embassy in DC and the US Embassy in Caracas--under the protectorate of third countries, as in the case of Iran where that embassy is now an “Interest Section” under the
protection of Pakistan. This would be a peaceful, conciliatory solution to the present standoff.</p>
