Aparatul represiv al Venezuelei rămâne „intact”, avertizează anchetatorii ONU

UN investigators report that despite limited improvements, Venezuela still faces significant human rights violations, including illegal detentions and forced disappearances. The UN mission noted a decrease in long-term detentions and forced disappearances following political changes, but emphasized the lack of necessary institutional reforms. Laws against dissent remain in place, and security forces continue to operate with impunity. The mission documented ongoing torture practices and arbitrary short-term arrests aimed at intimidating opposition members and journalists. While some political prisoners have been released, many remain detained. The mission calls for international support to end repression and establish accountability in Venezuela.
