Venezuela’s Political Unrest: Opposition Members Targeted Amid Post-Election Protests
The political landscape in Venezuela has been marred by violence and repression, with opposition members being arrested and detained in recent weeks. The latest incident involves the disappearance of Ángel Carianama, a security and surveillance officer for the Vente Venezuela party, on September 9. Carianama was kidnapped while on his way to work, and his party has condemned the act, labeling it as a “kidnapping” by the Maduro regime [[3]].

The post-election protest period has seen a surge in arrests of opposition members.
