Venezuela released 17 political prisoners under a new amnesty law, part of broader reforms after Maduro’s capture.
Venezuela has released 17 political prisoners from Caracas’s Zone 7 police facility under a new amnesty law passed last month, part of reforms led by Delcy Rodríguez following the January 3 capture of former leader Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces.
The law aims to free individuals imprisoned on political charges.
Since Maduro’s removal, over 621 political prisoners have been released, though about 500 remain detained.
Family members had protested for weeks, including a hunger strike and sit-ins.
While the government claims over 7,000 people have been fully freed, those from Zone 7 must still appear in court to finalize their release.
Released detainees and relatives celebrated with cries of “freedom” and emotional reunions.
