Maduro Locks Up Economists Sharing Data on Venezuela's Decline
President Nicolás Maduro has intensified his crackdown on independent economists and consultants, detaining at least eight people in what critics call a bid to control data exposing Venezuela's decline.
Detentions began last week, with some released after a few hours and others still being held by the government, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified to avoid reprisals.
