On January 8, 2026, order 001-26 authorized the release of Rocío San Miguel after nearly two years of arbitrary detention in El Helicoide prison. Following her acquittal in the controversial "White Bracelet" case, the lawyer and human rights defender is speaking out not only to denounce the unjust convictions of 15 other defendants, but also to reaffirm the need for an institutional, peaceful, and democratic solution.

In this conversation, San Miguel exposes the serious inconsistencies in a case file she describes as "a hodgepodge where things are thrown in as they suit the purposes of the case," details the human impact of her imprisonment and the grief over the preventable death of her brother, and warns about the danger of revenge against the transition process underway in Venezuela.
