U.S. diplomats have still not been able to visit Tracy in prison, where he awaits formal charges after being arrested in late April.

According to LinkedIn, he attended Georgetown University, and his work has included the "Madhouse" TV series about stock car racing for the History Channel, plus a just-finished comedy called "Angry White Man."

A group of several dozen Venezuelan film-makers and others in the local cinema industry appealed for Tracy's release in a petition published in a newspaper on Sunday.

"Everything that's been described, from all sides, about Timothy Tracy's activities, show a filmmaker carrying out a deep and serious documentary about us," their statement said.

"We urge the government to show maximum transparency and objectivity in his case, and to release him quickly, given that this is a case of an audiovisual professional whose work has been brusquely interrupted for political reasons."

1. At the very least..

let US diplomats visit him.

What is the justification for not allowing that?

2. we always hear the US is supposed to be the one improving relationship with LA

but remember:

1. those who are critical of the US do NOT want better relationships to improve. They enjoy the bashing of the US from minor tyrants like chavez and maduro.

2. There really isn't much the US can do when you have situations like this that keep occurring.
