A recent report from Foro Penal indicates that Venezuela held 328 political prisoners as of the end of August. This number includes 183 civilians and 145 members of the military, highlighting the broad scope of those affected. Disturbingly, 188 of these individuals are awaiting sentencing, signifying a lack of resolution in their cases and prolonged detention. The organization’s findings underscore ongoing concerns about due process and political persecution within the country. This figure represents a continued pattern of politically motivated detentions and judicial delays. The report suggests a systemic issue within the Venezuelan legal system regarding the handling of cases perceived as politically sensitive. These findings were published by EL NACIONAL.
