DESCRIPTION:About the event\n\n\n\nOver the last five years\, Ecuador has been engulfed in brutal violence and a criminal chaos unprecedented in its history as the country has unraveled at a dizzying speed.

SUMMARY:From security operations to political crackdowns: Covering human rights in Venezuela
DESCRIPTION:About the event\n\n\n\nInSight 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. \n\n\n\nThe discussion will be conducted in Spanish and will be livestreamed on X. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on X\n\n\n\n\nLive event in Spanish.

SUMMARY:Durán: A Window into Ecuador’s Organized Crime Explosion -- Virtual Panel
DESCRIPTION:About the event\n\n\n\nOnce a bustling commercial hub\, Durán has become ground zero for Ecuador’s alarming surge in criminal violence. With a record-breaking homicide rate of 147 per 100\,000 in 2023\, this coastal city exemplifies Ecuador’s rapid descent into criminal chaos. But what’s driving this transformation\, and are government efforts to reverse these trends working? \n\n\n\nTo accompany the release of our investigation “Durán: A Window into Ecuador’s Organized Crime Explosion\,” InSight Crime will host a virtual event on September 26th. Join us to explore how systemic corruption\, chronic neglect\, and the rise of criminal gangs  have reshaped Durán’s landscape. We’ll delve into the city’s critical role in cocaine trafficking\, the impact of land trafficking on its criminal ecosystem\, and the complex relationships between gangs and local communities. We’ll also explore two important case studies – one of a criminal broker and another of a long-time gang leader – that reveal how Durán’s (and Ecuador’s) criminal landscape has evolved in the last decade.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on YouTube\n\n\n\nJoin us on X\n\n\n\n\nLive event in Spanish.

SUMMARY:The Day After: The Presidential Election and Criminal Chessboard in Venezuela - Virtual Panel
DESCRIPTION:About the event\n\n\n\nFor more than a decade\, Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro has used his alliances with criminal groups to increase his control and consolidate his power. Venezuela’s electoral authority declared Maduro the winner of the presidential elections this Sunday\, July 28\, beating out Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia\, who is backed by popular opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. The opposition has contested the results\, decrying fraud. This raises a number of questions for the day after the vote. \n\n\n\nIf Maduro is challenged\, how will organized crime in the country be affected? What security challenges await a new Venezuelan administration? How will regional security be impacted by Sunday’s results? \n\n\n\nWe invite you to join a virtual panel where InSight Crime co-director Jeremy McDermott\, accompanied by political scientist Paola Bautista de Alemán\, political consultant Oswaldo Ramírez\, and journalist Sebastiana Barráez\, will discuss these and other questions about the future of Venezuela’s criminal landscape. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConnect to the YouTube broadcast\n\n\n\nConnect to the X broadcast\n\n\n\n\nLive event in Spanish.
