Venezuela releases more political prisoners, hundreds remain detained

NOS27 September · 04:101 hour ago

Human rights organizations report that Venezuela has released additional political prisoners, including dissident Wilder Vasquez, though the exact number remains unclear. Interim President Delcy Rodríguez, who assumed power after the Trump administration's actions against Nicolás Maduro, cited a February amnesty law as a step toward democratization, yet activists estimate at least 450 political detainees remain. While Rodríguez told the UN that elections are part of this process, she provided no date, and opposition leader María Corina Machado continues to live in exile despite calls for her return.
