Venezuela Releases 70 Political Prisoners Post-Election

News summary

Venezuela's government has released at least 70 political prisoners following the controversial July presidential election, amid international criticism of the election's transparency and subsequent crackdowns. Human rights organizations, including Foro Penal and the Venezuelan Prison Observatory, have confirmed these releases, which include women and children, across multiple prisons like Tocorón. The attorney general, aligned with the ruling party, announced a review of 225 cases related to the post-election unrest, during which 2,400 people were detained. The opposition claims that their candidate, Edmundo González, won the election despite official declarations of Nicolás Maduro's victory. The released prisoners are reportedly subject to certain conditions, such as court appearances, although details remain unspecified. Rights groups continue to advocate for the release of all detained individuals linked to the protests.
