Venezuelan Mother Dies 10 Days After State Confirms Missing Son ...
The NGO Foro Penal said Navas had spent nearly a year seeking answers after authorities confirmed her son died in custody.
- Carmen Teresa Navas, the 83-year-old mother who campaigned for her son, died on Sunday in Caracas, just 10 days after the government confirmed Victor Hugo Quero Navas had died in state custody.
- Venezuelan authorities detained Quero Navas in January 2025 at Rodeo I prison while the state concealed his death for nearly 10 months; the Ombudsman's Office issued false reports claiming he remained alive.
- Scientific police exhumed her son's remains on Friday, and The Ministry for Penitentiary Services claimed he died of "acute respiratory failure secondary to pulmonary thromboembolism" at a military hospital.
- Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado mourned Navas, praising her for confronting a "terror apparatus," while students at Central University of Venezuela blocked the Francisco Fajardo highway Monday to demand justice.
- Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International describe these events as systematic repression, warning that Venezuela's repressive apparatus remains intact despite recent political changes and continues threatening families of political prisoners.
