A Venezuelan policeman arrested in 2024 on "treason" charges was reported to have died in jail on 10 January, state prosecutors and local rights groups stated. Stated prosecutors declared that Edison Torres Fernández, a 52-year-old officer convicted of "treason against the fatherland," died from a brain stroke followed by a heart attack in spite of "timely" medical attention, Univisión and the Agence France-Presse reported on 13 January. Rights groups and families of detainees observed in previous days that the interim government was being painfully slow in implementing its pledge to release jailed opponents, further fueling suspicions it was fiddling the numbers on how many it had released. One activist separately told CNN on 10 January that those released were in any case only conditionally free and had yet to recover full civil rights.
