Political persecution in Venezuela intensifies

Political persecution continues to rise in Venezuela. Even after Nicolás Maduro’s recent arrest during a complex transition of power, reports indicate that citizens, protesters, and activists have been detained, many accused of “treason” simply for disagreeing with the regime or supporting U.S. actions. Venezuelan families both inside the country and in the United States continue to face fear, instability, and uncertainty, as democratic restoration remains a difficult and ongoing process. For individuals currently in the U.S. with a pending asylum case, these developments may be relevant evidence to help strengthen claims, particularly to demonstrate why returning to Venezuela at this time could present serious safety concerns.
