Nelson Piñero

Nelson Piñero is a Venezuelan activist associated with the political party Encuentro Ciudadano. He was arrested on November 22, 2023, by the Bolivarian Intelligence Service (Sebin) for criticizing the government's actions on social media, particularly regarding a referendum on territorial disputes with Guyana. His outspoken views have made him a target of government repression, and his detention has raised concerns about freedom of expression in Venezuela.
