Venezuela's Ministry for Prison Services confirmed the death of 51-year-old merchant and political prisoner Víctor Hugo Quero Navas, who died in state custody nearly ten months ago. His family had filed forced disappearance complaints for over a year before authorities acknowledged his death.

The official version of the Ministry for the Prison Service states that the detainee died on July 24, 2025. However, the iron tombstone at the place where he was allegedly buried indicates a date of death of July 27, 2025.
