US EditionRights group urges US and other governments to hold Venezuela’s Maduro accountable for repression
- A global human rights watchdog published a report on May 1, 2025, urging the US and other governments to hold Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro accountable for post-election repression in Venezuela.
- The report detailed that after Maduro's disputed July 28, 2024 election, security forces and government-loyal paramilitary groups detained over 2,000 people, including opposition members and foreign nationals, often using enforced disappearances.
- Human Rights Watch documented multiple abuses through interviews, videos, and official documents, noting widespread killings, torture, arbitrary detentions, and cases based on fabricated violations targeting protesters and bystanders.
- The opposition obtained vote records from 85% of the electronic voting devices, indicating that Edmundo González had secured a substantial lead, while Venezuela’s electoral authority, dominated by Maduro supporters, announced Maduro as the victor without releasing detailed vote tallies.
- The report urged the US to impose additional targeted sanctions on government officials and armed groups and called for resumed humanitarian funding and engagement with Maduro’s government to secure verifiable human rights progress.
