A federal court in Argentina has ordered the “immediate” arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello for alleged crimes against humanity committed against dissidents.

Monday’s court order came in response to an appeal by Argentine prosecutor Carlos Stornelli after a previous ruling dismissed the complaint against both Venezuelan leaders.
