Rocío San Miguel

Rocío San Miguel is a well-known Venezuelan-Spanish rights activist and security expert. She is newsworthy because she was recently released from prison in Venezuela as part of a larger release of political prisoners. Her arrest in 2024 had raised concerns about increased repression in Venezuela. The releases are occurring after the United States seized President Nicolás Maduro and are being described by Venezuelan officials as a goodwill gesture aimed at consolidating peace. San Miguel's release, along with others, is seen as a potentially significant development in the country's political landscape, particularly in light of the recent change in leadership. Spain's foreign ministry confirmed her release as one of five Spanish nationals freed.
