The United States and Venezuela's opposition on Sunday condemned the death under"torture" of a naval officer detained for alleged trying to oust President Nicolas Maduro.
Acosta was part of a group of 13 people arrested for alleged involvement in a failed"coup d'etat" against Mr Maduro, which the government has tied to Guaido. Ms Bachelet, a former Chilean president, visited Caracas last week and called for the"release" of imprisoned political opponents in the country, which NGO Foro Penal says number close to 800.
Former intelligence chief Manuel Christopher, who joined a failed April 30 uprising against Maduro and later fled the country, in a letter on Sunday called on military commanders to"join the side of those in need and stop crossing your arms while our people and our soldiers are killed and tortured."
