In Venezuela, the systematic violation of human rights has become a painful daily reality. Day after day, the regime's prisons fill with new political prisoners, citizens whose only crime was expressing an opinion contrary to the established power. Any dissenting voice is silenced through unfounded accusations of terrorism, treason, and all manner of fabricated charges that the repressive machinery deems convenient.
Institutional independence is nonexistent; the State functions as a monolith where a single head thinks, plans, and executes every action, not for the benefit of the people, but to perpetuate the privileges of a corrupt elite that occupies the highest positions. Meanwhile, a desperate people cry out for freedom, for justice, for the fundamental right to live with dignity in their own land.
