BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentina's government said on Friday it strongly rejected what it called the arbitrary and unjustified detention of a non-commissioned officer of the country's Gendarmeria, a national security force, in Venezuela.

The government said that the officer, Nahuel Agustin Gallo, had entered Venezuela from Colombia on Dec. 8 to visit family, including his partner and daughter, but that he was "immediately arrested, without a legitimate motive and in open violation of his fundamental rights."
