The Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) has ruled Venezuela responsible for the torture of Jorge Rojas while he was detained at El Helicoide prison. The court found that Rojas suffered abuses while in state custody and that these incidents were not properly investigated by Venezuelan authorities. The IACtHR determined the torture caused significant harm to Rojas’ life plans and also negatively impacted his mother. This ruling marks a condemnation of Venezuela’s treatment of political prisoners and its failure to uphold human rights standards. The decision was announced on June 10th and represents a significant development in the case. Details of the sentence were not immediately available, but the ruling establishes Venezuela’s liability for the violations suffered by Rojas. The case highlights concerns regarding due process and the protection of detainees within the Venezuelan justice system.
