The United Nations' top human rights official has warned that reports of torture and abuse in Venezuelan detention centers persist even after the January capture of former president Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces and the backing of an interim government led by Delcy Rodríguez.
Volker Türk, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, told the U.N. Human Rights Council that his office had received information about "the continued torture and mistreatment of detainees, including in the Rodeo 1 and Fuerte Guaicaipuro" detention centers. Türk said many Venezuelans also remain in "arbitrary detention," including at least one child, as BBC reports.
