In the aftermath of the recent presidential election, Venezuela has started a significant release of political prisoners. Reports indicate that over 225 individuals detained during anti-government protests and post-election unrest have been freed. This wave of releases comes amid claims of unlawful detentions related to the contested election results. Human rights organizations, such as Foro Penal, have documented a rising number of political prisoners in the country, emphasizing the alarming situation faced by many detainees. As the government continues to release prisoners, relatives of those still incarcerated are demanding action, citing severe conditions in detention facilities.
