Venezuela Opens Family Visits at El Rodeo I, Where Argentine Gendarme Nahuel Gallo Is Held

Families remain without official word on the Argentine gendarme’s status despite opaque, last‑minute release notifications.

Overview

  • Authorities allowed relatives into El Rodeo I on Sunday, the first access in months at the maximum‑security CESMAS sector.
  • Nahuel Gallo has been held since December 2024 without calls, letters or prior visits, and there is still no confirmed information on his health or release.
  • Foro Penal reports 16 excarcerations to date with 804 political detainees still in custody, while the opposition coalition tallies 22 releases.
  • Officials have issued no formal lists and often notify families only minutes before freeing detainees, who are then dropped at points outside the facilities.
  • Opposition leader Freddy Superlano and journalist Roland Carreño were among those reported to have received visits during the opening at El Rodeo I.
