Nine months after Nicolás Maduro was declared the winner of Venezuela's 2024 presidential election by allegedly securing 51% of the votes, a human rights group released a report accusing his regime of widespread abuses against protesters and opposition members, including up to 25 killings and more than 2,000 political imprisonments.
According to the 104-page report titled "Punished for Seeking Change: Killings, Enforced Disappearances, and Arbitrary Detention Following Venezuela's 2024 Election," security forces and government-aligned paramilitary groups known as "colectivos" were accused of committing grave human right violations after the July 28 election.
