A joint report highlights a disturbing trend in Venezuela as it prepares for the next cycle of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR). Human rights organizations have documented ongoing threats to freedom of expression, including the persistent detention of journalists and critical voices. The report details instances of digital blocking and forced exile targeting communicators within the country. These actions indicate a systemic effort to silence dissent and curtail media independence. The findings will be presented during the fourth cycle of the UPR, a process where the human rights record of UN member states is examined. This review offers an opportunity for international pressure to address the deteriorating situation for journalists and human rights defenders in Venezuela. The report underscores the urgent need for the Venezuelan government to protect fundamental freedoms and cease its repressive tactics.
