Caracas, Venezuela (HRNW)- Interim President Delcy Rodríguez has appointed General Gustavo Enrique González López—previously accused of overseeing torture and arbitrary detentions—as head of national security. Human rights activists warn this signals a return to authoritarian practices, with reports of surveillance and intimidation already resurfacing across Caracas. Families of political prisoners fear new waves of crackdowns against journalists and dissidents.
