In Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, and Nicaragua, there is state terrorism

At the heart of the crimes done by tyrants and their organized criminal organizations to intimidate the people is the exploitation of the court system to imprison and convict innocent individuals

The criminal tool that Castro-Chavismo or 21st-century socialism has standardized in violating human rights is judicial state terrorism. Its crimes, which include forgery, false accusations and denials, torture, extortion, excessive deprivations of liberty, illegal seizures, judicial rulings against human rights, prevarication, disseminating incorrect information, reputation assassination, and more, are meant to serve as a warning to citizens about what can happen to them if they oppose the regime or refuse to follow its rules.
