US EditionVenezuela Releases 11 Prisoners Amid Ongoing Family Waits and Diplomatic Talks
Only 11 prisoners have been freed amid a government pledge to release many more, while 809 remain detained, according to Foro Penal, an advocacy group.
- Only 11 people had been released, up from nine a day prior, while families gathered for a third consecutive day outside prisons in Caracas and other communities.
- On Thursday, Venezuela's government pledged to free what it described as a significant number of prisoners following recent U.S. military action and reported capture of President Nicolás Maduro Jan. 3.
- Diágenis Angulo was freed after a year and five months in San Francisco de Yare prison and learned of Maduro's Jan. 3 capture as he emerged.
- Foro Penal reported eight hundred and nine remain imprisoned, prominent opposition figures like Freddy Superlano, Juan Pablo Guanipa, and Perkins Rocha remain jailed, and a relative described Rocío San Miguel's release as `not full freedom, but rather a precautionary measure substituting deprivation of liberty.`
- Friday, Venezuela and the United States said they are evaluating restoring relations as a mission from Donald Trump's administration arrived, and President Donald Trump hailed the releases as coming at Washington's request.
