Political repression in Venezuela
Political repression in Venezuela has been as old as the existence of the republic, and has been carried out through arrests, torture and exile of opponents. Some governments in power have consolidated their power through media censorship, which is why repression was sometimes known after the governments themselves ended, as in the case of the dictatorships of Juan Vicente Gómez and Marcos Pérez Jiménez.
