Hundreds of people bid farewell on May 19 to Carmen Teresa Navas at the Eastern Cemetery in Caracas, in a ceremony marked by chants, tears, and calls for justice. During the funeral, attendees sang the National Anthem, threw flowers onto the coffin covered with the Venezuelan flag, and recited the poem "Los Niños Infinitos."

Hours earlier, family, friends, and citizens attended the wake to pay tribute. The funeral procession then accompanied her remains to the cemetery.

Navas died on May 17, one week after the death of her son, political prisoner Víctor Hugo Quero, was confirmed while in state custody. For months, she visited institutions seeking information about his whereabouts, unaware that he had already died.

🇻🇪✝ Hours before, the coffin of Mrs. Carmen was accompanied by family members, former political prisoners, reporters, political activists, and others to her burial site in Caracas.

🇻🇪🇦🇷 Argentine gendarme Nahuel Gallo published on his social networks photographs of two of his jailers at the El Rodeo I prison and identified them as responsible for the serious human rights violations he suffered in the torture center where he was imprisoned between December 2024 and March 2026.

Gallo identified Alexander Martínez and Carlos Rincones Serven, known within the prison by the pseudonyms "Pater" and "Tiburón", as the people who exercised control of the facility under whose authority numerous detainees remained kidnapped, incommunicado, and subjected to inhuman conditions.

"There were threats, false promises, psychological and physical abuse, constant humiliations, and cruel treatment," he denounced.

The gendarme recounted that both officials acted "with total indifference" to the suffering of the detainees, even going so far as to mock them.

"The psychological damage that we who survived captivity in Rodeo I carry today is a consequence of everything experienced inside that prison. Nothing erases the fear, the abandonment, and the scars left by those dark years," he wrote.

Gallo closed his denunciation with a call for memory and justice. "The memory of what occurred must be kept alive so that the world knows what happened and so that one day there may be truth, justice, and reparation for all victims."

On April 30, the Argentine gendarme declared for the first time before the Federal Justice of his country regarding the torture he suffered during his 448 days of illegal detention in Venezuela, a step he described as painful but necessary to demand justice for himself and for all foreigners and Venezuelans who continue to be victims of the Chavista regime, such as Argentine lawyer Germán Giuliani, who on May 21 will complete one year in captivity.

Gallo appeared as a private prosecutor before the Argentine Federal Justice in the case opened against dictator Nicolás Maduro and other high-ranking officials of the Chavista regime for crimes against humanity. This case was initiated in 2023 by the Argentine Forum for the Defense of Democracy (FADD) based on the principle of universal jurisdiction.
