The Sixth Anti-Corruption Sentencing Court in La Paz, Bolivia, has ordered the immediate release of former interim President Jeanine Áñez, along with lifting preventive detention for opposition figures Luis Fernando Camacho, governor of Santa Cruz, and Marco Antonio Pumari. Camacho will be placed under house arrest with permission for work-related outings. Meanwhile, the Colombian government confirmed that at least 38 Colombian citizens, including three women and four signatories of the FARC peace agreement, remain detained arbitrarily in Venezuela without access to consular assistance. Five Colombians were recently released from Venezuelan custody. Venezuelan authorities have not provided information on the legal status of the detainees. Human rights groups and political parties, including Primero Justicia, have called for the release of all political prisoners in Venezuela, citing ongoing torture and persecution of detainees' families. Additionally, there have been reports of enforced disappearances and torture within Venezuela, including the disappearance of a Venezuelan National Police officer and the abduction of a party leader affiliated with María Corina Machado in Bolívar state. Separately, a Chinese merchant was reportedly killed in Venezuela, and a suspect with multiple murder charges in Venezuela has been placed under preventive detention in Chile. The developments highlight continuing political and human rights tensions in Bolivia and Venezuela.
