First Lieutenant Pedro Luis Jiménez López has been detained since July 2024 after reporting discontent within the Presidential Honor Guard post-election.
He was held at DGCIM in Boleíta for about a year, allegedly without access to a private lawyer and initially incommunicado.
He was later transferred to Yare prison, where he has been for nearly two years awaiting trial on charges of rebellion, criminal association, and incitement to hatred.
His mother claims he is listed as a deserter in the Army command, leading to suspension of his salary.
The claims, made testable
- asserted — check unavailable First Lieutenant Pedro Luis Jiménez López has been detained since July 2024 after reporting discontent within the Presidential Honor Guard post-election. (evidence: not measured)

Pattern: 719 related Venezuela signals in the last 30 days on Political prisoners, Military detention, Post-election repression, Human rights.
What would change the assessment
- If Pedro Luis Jiménez López is released or granted a trial within the next 90 days, the claim of indefinite detention without trial would be weakened. (within 90 days — Foro Penal reports, official Venezuelan court records)
- If official military records show Jiménez López is not listed as a deserter, the claim of administrative irregularity would be contradicted. (within 90 days — Venezuelan Army personnel records (if accessible))
