🎙️In our latest WOLA podcast episode, Carolina Jimenez Sandoval, WOLA’s President, is joined by Laura Cristina Dib Ayesta, our Director for #Venezuela, to dive deep into the unfolding crisis in Venezuela following the July 28 elections. Despite the Venezuelan National Electoral Council declaring Maduro the winner, the lack of transparency and suspension of the vote audit has sparked outrage. Carolina and Laura discuss the wide-ranging and extreme forms of repression that have followed, including over 1,500 detentions, 23 homicides, social media bans, and a law criminalizing civil society. They also highlight new forms of civic resistance, from youth activism to the Venezuelan diaspora’s engagement, and the unprecedented speed and magnitude of government crackdowns. This episode sheds light on the alarming human rights abuses and the international community's role in supporting Venezuela’s democracy. 🎧 🌎 Tune in to understand why this crisis deserves continued global attention and action: https://lnkd.in/evR6KreN #Venezuela #HumanRights #Democracy #LatinAmerica #Podcast
