Rafaela Requesens

(

)

... that the student president of the Central University of Venezuela, Rafaela Requesens, was arrested with her brother in August 2018 on suspicion of attempted assassination? Source: Reuters "Venezuela’s opposition said that lawmaker Juan Requesens and his sister Rafaela Requesens, a student leader, were arrested in their Caracas apartment on Tuesday night, after President Nicolas Maduro ordered a crackdown following drone explosions at a weekend rally."
- ALT1:... that Venezuelan political activist Rafaela Requesens was training to be a flamenco dancer before a knee injury in college? Source: Climax/El Estímulo (in Spanish) "me metí en flamenco y ahí me quedé ... una lesión en la rodilla truncó o fracturó su sueño de ser bailaora" — "I found flamenco and I stayed there ... a knee injury broke up her dreams of being a dancer"
- ALT2:... that both Requesens siblings, Juan and Rafaela, have led student and political protests in Venezuela? Various sources, see their pages.

Reviewed: less than 5, but Boelcke-Kaserne concentration camp anyway
Comment: Other possibly hooks include having 5 tattoos and a lip piercing, going to culinary school during college, being only the second female FCU-UCV President... a goldmine for interesting hooks, really.

This article is new enough and long enough. Choosing to go with ALT1 which involves no BLP issues, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no policy issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:37, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, ALT1 is also my preferred odd fact Kingsif (talk) 06:18, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

@Cwmhiraeth: the page was created on August 18 and nominated on September 4, two and a half weeks later. Are you choosing to IAR here? Yoninah (talk) 17:30, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure how that came about but I agree it was nominated late. I suggest we accept it nevertheless as Kingsif is not a DYK regular. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:45, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
