Venezuela: Amidst limited political changes, country’s repressive apparatus remains intact, UN Fact-Finding Mission says

Venezuela continues to use its repressive apparatus despite the removal of former President Nicolas Maduro. A UN Fact-Finding Mission reports that rights abuses persist and human rights violations remain appalling. While the government has released some prisoners following Maduro's capture, UN experts state the machinery of repression remains largely functional. This indicates that limited political changes have failed to dismantle the systems used to suppress the population.
