Venezuela terrorism courts persist, decentralized control phase, trial stage centralized in Caracas

Perkins Rocha reports that Venezuela's terrorism courts remain operational, contrary to claims of elimination. The control phase has been decentralized to ordinary courts nationwide, while trial proceedings stay centralized in Caracas under bodies that processed activists post-July 2024 election crisis. This indicates a structural redistribution rather than dismantlement, raising concerns about ongoing judicial targeting of dissidents.
