Victoria. 16 years old, is in her fifth year of high school. She is a member of the Orquesta Sinfónica, and attends a modeling and make-up school. She was kidnapped on July 29 and subjected to forced disappearance. She was not allowed to defend herself through her lawyers.

Lauriannys. 16 years old girl who just graduated from high school and was arrested on August 14 after being reported by an official from the Carúpano City Hall. The reason? She allegedly forwarded a message via WhatsApp after July 28. That night, a group of regime officials forcibly removed her from her home as if she were a criminal. Due to the trauma of what happened, she began to feel ill and as a result, she suffered a collapse that caused brain damage and required urgent transfer to a healthcare centre. There she was prosecuted without the right to defend herself for the crime of instigating hatred, with a sentence of 24 years in prison.

José. 14 years old teenager who was arrested on July 30 with his father when they passed by a protest at a PSUV headquarters on their way to do personal errands. They were arrested and had rocks, sticks and a bottle of petrol planted in their bags, in order to accuse them of “acts of vandalism”. The young man was brought forward and charged with terrorism and inciting hatred.

Yohendri. A fifth-year high school student and a soccer player, goalkeeper for his soccer team. In his free time he sells fried plantains with his uncle. He lives with his sick mother and his grandfather. The young man was arrested along with his cousin and a friend on August 6. At 11:00 pm, the young man went with his cousin to a neighbor's house to invite him to play with the phones. While there, regime officials arrived abruptly asking for another person. At that moment they were taken into custody. Relatives claim that the officials were looking for another person with the same name. They were victims of a mix-up; they were arrested and processed in the same way.

Edison. 15 years old, arbitrarily KIDNAPPED in Barinas on August 2, was severely beaten, causing FACIAL PARALYSIS, and was accused of Terrorism. He has already been released on bail.

Camila, 15 years old, was kidnapped by the forces of the Nicolás Maduro dictatorship in Trujillo state to force her father, Gerardo Leal, to turn himself in. Her only "crime" was accompanying María Corina Machado on motorcycle tours.
