Venezuela stops @WashingtonPost journalist and other correspondents from entering the country
"Venezuelan authorities stopped a Washington Post reporter at the
Caracas airport late Monday night and denied him entry, in the latest
case of blocking a foreign correspondent from covering the mounting
political and economic turmoil in the South American country.
"Immigration officials told Joshua Partlow, 38, a dual U.S.-Canadian
national, that he lacked a required work visa. Partlow and many other
foreign correspondents with non-U.S. passports had routinely visited
Venezuela in the past without work visas."
