Six hooded men raided Raymond Azar's former property on Margarita Island today, interrogating elderly foreign owners for hours to verify any relation to Azar, according to an X post by @RaymondAzarM during the one-hour period ending at 4:46 a.m. UTC on January 11, 2026. Azar attributed the raid to intimidation by Delcy RodrÃguez's regime targeting perceived enemies of the dictatorship, stating repression has not ended and will intensify as political prisoner releases become a focal issue, per the same X post at https://x.com/RaymondAzarM/status/2010167281465065805. In a separate X post over the past hour, @RepCarlos warned Venezuelan regime henchmen that an order has been issued to release all political prisoners and facilitate a transition, threatening severe consequences for noncompliance, according to the post at https://x.com/RepCarlos/status/2010199205391085635. These claims follow earlier reports this morning of family members and activists accusing the regime of providing spoiled food to political prisoners at El Rodeo I prison, causing stomach issues without treatment, as stated by @MundarayZair citing #AlertaNoMordaza in the prior reporting window.
