Former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has shared two new photographs of himself from detention in the United States, describing them as a small gift of love and hope to his supporters.
The images were released on Saturday and were first published by Al Jazeera, marking the first public photos of the former leader since his controversial abduction by the US in January 2026.
According to the report, Maduro appears in good spirits in the photos taken while in custody. In a short note attached to the pictures, he said he wanted to reassure his followers about his condition.
Maduro has remained in prolonged detention in the United States, a situation that has drawn international attention and debate over its legal basis.
His communication from detention is being viewed as an attempt to maintain connection with his base back home as legal proceedings over his status continue.
The development highlights questions around his continued incarceration and what many legal analysts describe as an extraordinary rendition case.
