Ibéyise Pacheco (born 29 January 1961) is a Venezuelan journalist and writer, specializing in investigative journalism, who has been linked with politics due to her opposition to the governments of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro.

[1] Her coverage and publication of her first case Los Pozos de la muerte (The Death Wells), about the search for, and discovery of, the bodies of people who had disappeared at the hands of state police in Zulia,[2] had significant international repercussions.

[2] This persecution has continued during the government of Nicolás Maduro; she has repeatedly denounced, on social networks, attacks directed at her by those in power, such as the raid on her house in Colinas de Bello Monte, Caracas,[6] and the hacking of her Twitter account.

[7] Pacheco has categorized the government of president Maduro as a dictatorship that tries to keep news of interest to the population secret, and for this reason she aims to promote worthy and responsible journalism that delivers truthful information to Venezuelans.

This occurred a day after she and journalists Patricia Poleo, Marta Colomina, and Marianella Salazar published a video about conversations between the Venezuelan Army and the Colombian guerrilla FARC.
