Venezuela's Maduro slams Twitter after accounts blocked


Maduro encouraged a pro-government journalist to publish photos of the head of Twitter in Venezuela, to show people who was responsible for the alleged manipulation.

CARACAS: Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday said Twitter was an "expression of fascism" after accounts linked to his government were suspended, accusing the US company of persecuting his followers. 

One of the Twitter accounts suspended belonged to Radio Miraflores, a station set up by Maduro that broadcasts from the presidential palace, including a salsa music program the president hosts.
