Family members and activists denounced Delcy RodrĂguez's regime for supplying spoiled food to political prisoners at El Rodeo I prison, causing mass stomach upsets and dehydration without medical treatment, according to an X post by @MundarayZair and #AlertaNoMordaza during the 29-minute reporting window ending at 2:45 a.m. UTC on January 11, 2026. Prisoners reportedly coexist in cells with a floor hole serving as a toilet emitting toxic gases, described as torture, while family members maintain a vigil fearing beatings, as stated in the @MundarayZair post quoting #AlertaNoMordaza. The group demanded verification by the Red Cross and human rights organizations. Separately, The New York Times reported that Delcy RodrĂguez requested U.S. Army cooperation to return a tanker carrying 500,000 barrels of oil owned by an Alex Saab company, which departed Venezuela without PDVSA authorization or payment, according to an X post by @OrlvndoA in the same period. These reports follow relatives' vigil at El Helicoide prison demanding releases, as noted in a prior report from the previous 29 minutes, and the regime's rejection of a U.S. State Department alert earlier on January 11.
