Rocío San Miguel Sosa (born 1966 in Caracas, Venezuela)[1] is a lawyer and human rights activist, specialising in military issues. She is also the president of the NGO Control Ciudadano, a civil association whose objective is the supervision of citizens in terms of national security, defense, and the armed forces.[2] She also supervises the commitments that the Venezuelan state has to the Rome Statute and the Inter-American Human Rights Commission.[3]
On 9 February 2024, she was detained by Venezuelan security officials. After being held incommunicado for ten days and without her whereabouts being known, it was learned that she was being held in El Helicoide. Human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, have rejected the detention, described it as a enforced disappearance, and demanded her immediate release, recalling that she has a precautionary measure of protection from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
