Message from Nicolas Maduro from Prison: "We are fighters, do not pity us"

Nicolas Maduro, the ousted president of Venezuela, sent a message from the American prison where he is being held with his wife, Cilia Flores. Through his son, Nicolas Maduro Guerra, he assured PSUV party officials that they are well and "fighters", asking them not to pity him. Maduro and Flores were captured by US forces and transferred to the US, where they are accused of drug trafficking. According to the indictment, his government was corrupt and used power to protect and promote illegal activities, including drug trafficking. Delcy Rodriguez has assumed the interim presidency of Venezuela.
