Title:

Persecución y Wikipedia

Type of session:

Lecture (20 min)

Session theme(s):

Legal & Advocacy

Abstract:

El 17 de octubre de 2024 marca dos años desde que tuve que salir de mi país de origen, Venezuela, en retaliación por mis actividades como coordinador de eventos en Wikipedia. Al transitar por este camino, detallo que es lo que sabemos del caso judicial hasta el día de hoy, como funciona el sistema legal que permite la persecución de activistas en Venezuela, como actuó el equipo de Derechos Humanos de la Fundación para apoyarme, y que se puede hacer para mejorar el tiempo de respuesta y acción en futuros casos de persecución, no solo en Venezuela, sino en cualquier parte del mundo.

Title: Persecution and Wikipedia

October 17, 2024 marks two years since I had to leave my home country, Venezuela, in retaliation for my activities as a Wikipedia event coordinator. By walking this path, I describe what we know about the prosecution case to date, how the legal system that allows the persecution of activists in Venezuela works, how the WMF's Human Rights team supported me, and what can be done to improve the response time and action in future cases of persecution, not only in Venezuela, but elsewhere.
