GUANARE, Venezuela — EXCLUSIVE: FREEDOM’S CRUELEST JOKE has claimed another victim in a nation drowning in tyranny. Edilson Torres, 51, is being buried in a wooden box while the world applauds a so-called “gesture for peace.” His crime? Sending a WhatsApp message. His sentence? A SECRET POLITICAL IMPRISONMENT that ended with a suspicious “heart attack” just DAYS before a promised release he never saw.

This former police officer was not just detained—he was DISAPPEARED by the state in November, held incommunicado on trumped-up charges, according to his devastated family. Now, as his sister wails over his flag-draped coffin, other members of his messaging group are walking free. This is NOT a story of hope, but a HARROWING EXPOSÉ of a regime’s cynical game. The promised prisoner release is a SMOKESCREEN, a desperate ploy following the U.S. capture of former dictator Nicolás Maduro, designed to whitewash a VAST AND GROWING GULAG of political detainees.

A “flood of messages” is now hitting human rights groups from terrified families who once stayed silent. Alfredo Romero of Foro Penal confirms a hidden wave of hundreds of new cases, mostly military personnel targeted for extermination. The government’s opaque list of 116 freed prisoners is a LIE—only 55 can be independently verified, while men like Torres are conveniently erased from the record. Meanwhile, high-profile dissidents like attorney Rocío San Miguel FLEE THE COUNTRY immediately upon release, a damning indictment of the “peace” they’re offered.

Italian businessman Marco Burlò, freshly released, breaks the silence: he describes his ordeal as a “PURE AND REAL KIDNAPPING,” held in isolation, stripped of all legal rights, left to wonder if he would simply vanish. This is the TRUE FACE of the Venezuelan state—not a government, but a criminal syndicate that HOSTAGES ITS OWN PEOPLE. As the world looks away, the coffin closes on Edilson Torres, a man murdered by hope and buried by a lie. How many more will die waiting for a freedom that never comes?
