The report, published by the Digital Human Rights Monitor of the Movimiento Vinotinto Civil Association in December 2024, explains how Venezuela’s political and social crisis undermines the exercise of fundamental rights in digital environments. Written by Manuel Virguez and Yasmin Faneite of Movimiento Vinotinto, the study documents the state of digital rights in Venezuela over the past year by focusing on freedom of expression online, institutional cyberviolence, and access to information. The methods used to compile the report included a review of documents (laws, doctrines, and opinions of international organizations), surveys of Internet users, and in-depth interviews with human rights defenders, activists, and tech specialists who have been directly affected by the state’s digital repression.
