His daughter and other relatives initially detained alongside San Miguel were released with a ban on leaving the country and making statements to the media.
Numerous organizations have condemned the detention of the activist, have expressed their concern and have demanded that the Government of Venezuela respect their rights.
This is the case of the UN Independent International Mission for Venezuela, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) and Amnesty International, among others.
Last Thursday, the Government of Venezuela announced the suspension of the activities of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Caracas.
