VisitVenezuelan President Maduro Announces Maximum Security Prisons for Political Opponents
Aug 1, 2024, 11:26 PM
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has announced the construction of two maximum security prisons intended for political opponents. These facilities are to be converted into 're-education centers,' where detainees will undergo forced work. Maduro stated that thousands of new political prisoners will be housed in these prisons. His announcement has sparked significant concern, with some describing the new prisons as concentration camps. This move is seen as a further step towards a more repressive regime in Venezuela, marking a new dark chapter and likening the country to a Stalinist police state.
