Venezuela's Wave of Repression Escalates Post-Election

Thousands detained and dozens killed as Maduro's regime clamps down on dissent following disputed presidential election.

Over 2,200 people have been arrested since the July 28 election, with security forces targeting protesters and opposition figures.
Human rights groups report at least 24 deaths linked to the crackdown, including minors and opposition activists.
Detainees face severe conditions, often held incommunicado and without legal representation.
Maduro's government encourages citizens to report dissenters, amplifying fear and self-censorship among the population.
International bodies, including the ICC, are scrutinizing Maduro's actions for potential crimes against humanity.
