Gabriel Rodríguez, un año detenido y con una condena que frustra su futuro
Este viernes 9 de enero se cumple un año desde que el adolescente Gabriel Rodríguez, un destacado atleta y estudiante de Lara, viera cómo sus sueños de bachiller y futuro ingeniero quedaban suspendidos tras una detención arbitraria. Lo que comenzó como una salida de rutina para buscar atención médica por una fiebre alta terminó en un proceso judicial que su familia califica de viciado.
TL;DR
- Gabriel Rodríguez was arbitrarily detained on January 9, 2025, while seeking medical attention for a high fever.
- His family claims authorities arrested him based on his physical appearance and fabricated evidence, including using gasoline from their vehicle to frame him.
- Rodríguez faced a judicial process with numerous alleged irregularities, including denial of his choice of lawyer and conflicting testimonies from arresting officers.
- Despite his deteriorating health and academic excellence, he was denied permission to attend his high school graduation ceremony.
- He was sentenced to 10 years in prison on December 16, 2025, for alleged terrorism, incitement to hatred, and blocking public roads.
- His family and human rights organizations consider the sentence unjust and politically motivated, aiming to criminalize youth based on political prejudice.
