Wall of Tears

The Wall of Tears is a historical structure built during the late 20th century in Venezuela's Guayana region, primarily as a result of forced labor and political repression. Constructed by prisoners and political detainees, it was intended to serve as a memorial and symbol of suffering, but today, it stands as a stark reminder of the human costs associated with authoritarian regimes. The wall highlights themes of oppression, resistance, and the importance of human rights awareness, attracting visitors and activists who seek to remember those affected and promote justice.
