Following the July 28, 2024, presidential elections in Venezuela, Amnesty International has reported a significant escalation in forced disappearances, becoming a systematic persecution against government dissidents. Secretary General Agnes Callamard urged the International Criminal Court to investigate crimes against humanity in Venezuela. Amnesty's report details 15 cases of forced disappearances in the past year, with eleven individuals still missing. The practice includes arbitrary detentions without legal orders, particularly targeting critics. The refusal to disclose information about the detainees' whereabouts further exacerbates the human rights crisis, which must not be ignored by the international community.
