On January 7, 2025, hooded individuals arbitrarily detained Carlos Correa, a renowned human rights defender and executive director of Venezuelan NGO Espacio Público, whose fate and whereabouts remain unknown. His detention is solely based on his human rights work, similarly to four other defenders currently arbitrarily detained for their activism in Venezuela: Javier Tarazona, Rocío San Miguel, Carlos Julio Rojas, and Kennedy Tejeda. We demand Nicolás Maduro ensures their immediate and unconditional release and, while in state custody, protects their life and safety, right to not be subjected to torture, and fair trial guarantees.
