First Lieutenant Pedro Luis Jiménez López has been detained since July 2024, initially at DGCIM in Boleíta, then transferred to Yare prison.
He was arrested after reporting discontent within the Presidential Honor Guard following the July 28 election results.
He faces charges of rebellion, criminal association, and incitement to hatred, and has been held without trial for nearly two years.
The Army allegedly lists him as a deserter, leading to suspension of his salary.

What would change the assessment
- If Pedro Luis Jiménez López is released or formally charged within 90 days, the article's claim of indefinite detention without trial would be partially invalidated. (within 90 days — Foro Penal reports, official Venezuelan judicial records)
- If the Army officially confirms that Jiménez López is not listed as a deserter, the mother's claim would be contradicted. (within 90 days — Official military records or statements from the Venezuelan Ministry of Defense)
