The electoral observation missions of the Organization of American States and the European Union concluded that the election results declared by the National Electoral Council in December 2025 reflected the will of the people, and they called on the authorities to respect electoral institutions. HRF joins them in urging a peaceful and orderly transition of power and respect for the democratic process in Honduras.
HRF welcomes the release of a group of Venezuelan prisoners of conscience, including the 2025 Thulani Maseko Justice Prize laureate, Roc├нo San Miguel.
Prior to this announcement, the regime had imprisoned more than 800 human rights defenders, opposition members, journalists, and protesters, whom it subjected to torture and inhumane treatment while in detention.
Her release comes almost two years after her arbitrary arrest, but she is not yet free: the regime is keeping her under precautionary measures, and she still faces politically motivated charges.
The regime must release all those still held under politically motivated charges and give way to a peaceful democratic transition.
HRF will continue to monitor the situation in Venezuela and support those working to promote a peaceful democratic transition.

1/ Since peaceful protests began against IranтАЩs dictatorship on Dec. 28, at least 12,000 people have been killed and 18,000 arrested. These numbers are current best estimates, as the regimeтАЩs restriction of internet and communication channels on Jan. 8 has stifled the flow of information out of the country.
2/ The regime has intensified arrests and killings since the communications blackout. Protesters are unable to consistently share videos and photos of mass atrocities. One video that has surfaced showed family members identifying loved ones in piles of body bags.
3/ Other reports state that regime officials are firing at protesters with AK-47s. Protesters have told people outside of Iran that they are wearing tags with their names and phone numbers on them for identification should they be killed.
4/ HRF continues to stand with the Iranian people and calls on democratic governments to support those inside Iran. The regime must immediately end the violence and mass human rights violations.
