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. According to reports, the charges against both have not been dropped and three other human rights defenders remain arbitrarily detained: Javier Tarazona, Kennedy Tejeda, and Eduardo Torres. In addition to them, more than 700 other people remain arbitrarily detained for political reasons, as of January 19. We demand that Delcy Rodríguez immediately and unconditionally release all arbitrarily detained persons and protect their rights to life, physical integrity, and a fair trial, specifically guaranteeing reliable medical attention and family visits.
