In January 2026, human rights defenders Rocío San Miguel and Carlos Julio Rojas were released after being arbitrarily detained since February and April 2024, respectively. The charges against both have reportedly not been dropped and three other human rights defenders remain arbitrarily detained: Javier Tarazona, Kennedy Tejeda, and Eduardo Torres. Along with them, over 700 other individuals remain arbitrarily detained for political reasons, as of 19 January. We call on Delcy Rodriguez to immediately and unconditionally release all arbitrarily detained individuals and protect their rights to life, physical integrity, and fair trial, specifically ensuring trusted medical care and family visits.
