Ángel Gabriel González is a 17-year-old Venezuelan teenager who has been detained for nearly a year at a police station in La Guaira, accused of terrorism and other charges related to protests against the re-election of Nicolás Maduro. The opposition claims that he was wrongfully arrested for his alleged involvement in the destruction of a statue of Hugo Chávez during widespread protests, and his family asserts that he was tortured into confessing his guilt. His case has drawn international attention to the human rights abuses occurring in Venezuela.
