Gruppen, som består av över 600 personer från 33 länder och 120 organisationer, inkluderar profiler som Twitch-streamern Hasan Piker, den tidigare brittiska Labour-ledaren Jeremy Corbyn och andra som protesterar mot vad de beskriver som en amerikansk ekonomisk blockad. Besöket sammanfaller med nyligen genomförda amerikanska åtgärder, inklusive ett övertagande av Venezuelas oljeverksamhet och exekutiv order 14380 som utfärdades den 29 januari.
