Following a crackdown on political dissent, a lawyer fights to free Venezuelans who are currently imprisoned.
Following protests against Nicolas Maduro’s contentious re-election in July 2024, the number of political prisoners in Venezuela reached its highest level. By providing pro bono legal and humanitarian assistance, Foro Penal’s executive director and lawyer Alfredo Romero offers hope to detainees and their families.
Incitement to hatred, terrorism, and conspiracy are some of the charges brought against prisoners. They are frequently denied legal counsel and communication. Alfredo must rethink the methods used by Foro Penal to free those who are unfairly imprisoned because of his rebellious spirit, which is rooted in his youth as a punk rocker and driven by a desire for social change.
