Jesús Armas is denied the right to visits and private defense after more than 40 days in prison

Jesús Armas was arrested on the night of December 10 and his relatives reported that he was forced into a van without license plates.


Former councilor Jesús Armas, arbitrarily detained in December 2024, is prohibited from receiving visits and is prevented from having his trusted lawyers more than 40 days after the arbitrary arrest of which he was a victim.

This was indicated by his partner, Sairam Rivas, on the afternoon of Sunday, January 19, using his count in X where he indicated that Armas was subject to forced disappearance and is a victim of torture; Therefore, he describes his conditions of confinement as “a cruel form of coercion against him and his family.”

In that sense, Rivas asked for the release of the former councilor and all the political prisoners in Venezuela.

At the beginning of January, the political leader also indicated that Jesús Armas was tortured and taken to a clandestine house of the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (Sebin).

«The detainees are taken to clandestine houses of the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (Sebin) and the General Directorate of Military Counterintelligence (Dgcim) (…) it is not a new practice, it has been documented. And in the case of Jesús we were able to know about this because he himself reported it,” he said in an interview with Vladimir Villegas.

The activist was arrested on the night of December 10. Relatives reported that Jesús Armas was forced into a truck without license plates. They pointed out that this is part of the “revolving door” applied by Nicolás Maduro’s administration: political prisoners are released and detained.

He was first taken to Zone 7 of Boleíta and then transferred to the Sebin headquarters in El Helicoide.

*Journalism in Venezuela is carried out in a hostile environment for the press with dozens of legal instruments in place to punish the word, especially the laws “against hate”, “against fascism” and “against the blockade.” This content was written taking into consideration the threats and limits that, consequently, have been imposed on the dissemination of information from within the country.
