People who say “Maduro should be in jail” usually mean it for legal and moral reasons, not just political dislike. The main arguments are:
* Authoritarian rule: He’s widely accused of dismantling democratic institutions—controlling courts, sidelining the legislature, and suppressing opposition.
* Human rights abuses: Security forces under his government have been accused of arbitrary arrests, torture, and killings of protesters.
* Corruption and economic mismanagement: Massive corruption allegations and policies that contributed to Venezuela’s economic collapse, hyperinflation, and shortages.
* Election legitimacy: Many international observers argue recent elections lacked fairness, transparency, or real competition.
* International investigations: The International Criminal Court has an open investigation into alleged crimes against humanity linked to his government.

So when people say that phrase, they’re usually arguing that if international law were enforced the same way everywhere, he would face prosecution—similar to how leaders have been charged in other countries.

Others disagree, of course, and argue it’s political pressure or foreign interference. But that’s the reasoning behind the claim.
