Family members of judges Maurelys Vilchez and Maryorie Plazas, from Zulia State, are awaiting authorization from the 1st Trial Court with jurisdiction in terrorism, presided over by Judge José Antonio García Morán, for necessary medical visits. The two judges have been granted house arrest after being detained for almost two years. The decision offers a measure of relief to their families, who have campaigned for their release. The case has drawn attention to concerns regarding judicial independence and political imprisonment in Venezuela. Details regarding the specific charges against the judges were not provided in this report. Their supporters view the move to house arrest as a step toward eventual freedom, but emphasize the need for continued advocacy. They hope the court will swiftly approve the required medical attention for both women.
