From security operations to political crackdowns: Covering human rights in Venezuela
October 17, 2024 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm Bogotá / 5:00 pm Caracas
About the event
InSight Crimes’ Camila Aristizábal will host a discussion with Defiende Venezuela’s Ezequiel Monsalve on one of the most pressing regional issues of the day – documenting and covering human rights abuses perpetrated by the increasingly authoritarian Venezuelan state. Defiende Venezuela and InSight Crime recently partnered on a unique collaboration turning abuses documented by Defiende Venezuela during the course of the security forces “mega-operation” Operation Trueno into a series of graphic stories. Since then, the brutal post-election crackdown on political dissent by the regime of President Nicolas Maduro has brought international attention to the issues highlighted in the investigation, and to the increasingly dangerous but critical work of Venezuelan human rights defenders.
The discussion will be conducted in Spanish and will be livestreamed on X.
Live event in Spanish. Prior registration is not required.
