The United Nations released a report on Tuesday revealing “gross human rights violations” in Venezuela before, during, and after the July 28 elections. The investigation documents multiple and increasing violations and crimes committed by Venezuelan state-actors, such as the government and security forces, as well as pro-government armed civilian groups. Several countries, including Argentina, have recognized González as the true winner of the election and warned about human rights violations in Venezuela. According to the new UN report, Venezuelan detainees are threatened and tortured in order to incriminate themselves for serious crimes, such as terrorism. The UN mission will continue to investigate human rights violations in Venezuela.
