Venezuelan NGOs reject limited hate-law reform, demand full repeal

Civil-society organizations in Venezuela are demanding the full repeal of the Ley contra el Odio, arguing that a proposed reform by Vice President Delcy Rodríguez would preserve censorship and fines used to criminalize dissent. The reform, if limited, would fail to address constitutional rights violations. This signals continued state pressure on civil society and potential escalation of domestic political tensions.
