Young mother seeks five relatives in Venezuela jail

They seized her brother, accused of links to an attempted attack in Caracas last year. They had threatened to kill her unless he surrendered. Security forces also arrested her mother, teenage sister, aunt and cousin. And they used Gutierrez, pregnant with her second child, to pressure her partner to surrender. Gutierrez herself was released hours later and her sister after three days. The remaining five have not been heard from since they were detained in Cumana, a city on the Caribbean coast, in August 2025.
