A new U.S. indictment accuses Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s former president, of orchestrating torture as part of a broader crackdown on political opponents and dissent. The charges highlight allegations of systematic abuse tied to Venezuela’s security forces under his leadership, marking a significant escalation in legal pressure against him. Authorities claim the alleged crimes reflect a pattern of repression aimed at silencing critics and undermining democratic processes. The case adds to ongoing international scrutiny of Maduro’s tenure and its human rights record.
