A recent report from the non-governmental organization Justicia, Encuentro y Perdón (JEP) indicates that Venezuela is holding 552 political prisoners. The report also documents 18 cases of enforced disappearance. JEP highlighted the particularly vulnerable condition of 38 detainees suffering from serious illnesses. These prisoners are reportedly facing significant obstacles in accessing necessary medical care and appropriate treatment. The organization’s findings raise concerns about the humanitarian situation within Venezuela’s detention system. The report was published by EL NACIONAL and aims to draw attention to the plight of those imprisoned for political reasons.
