2025 OFF in Oslo
Pedro Urruchurtu was one of six top opposition campaign leaders who spent over a year trapped inside the Argentinian embassy in Caracas, Venezuela surrounded by armed security forces loyal to Nicolás Maduro. In this gripping and emotional talk, introduced by Human Rights Foundation CEO and Founder, Thor Halvorssen, Pedro recounts how he and his colleagues managed to defy a dictatorship, run a presidential campaign from diplomatic captivity, and ultimately escape under the nose of a repressive regime. From smuggling Starlinks into Venezuela to launching “Operation Guacamaya,” this is a story of courage and hope in the face of tyranny.
