Venezuela rights group urges repeal of Hate Law despite drop in repression cases

Provea, a Venezuelan human rights NGO, called for the nullification of the Hate Law, arguing that a reported decrease in repression cases does not consolidate lasting freedoms. The claim of reduced state violence is unverified and may reflect selective enforcement or underreporting. The law remains a tool for arbitrary penalization, and its repeal is a key demand for civil liberties.
