Relatives call for the release of political prisoners in Venezuela

On a Monday in Caracas, family members of political prisoners staged a protest to demand swiftness in the release of detainees. The demonstrations follow announcements made ten days prior by the interim government of Venezuela regarding planned excarcerations.

The releases were introduced amidst ongoing political dialogues between the government and the opposition, a process that has been auspiced by the United States. According to the available reports, the initial announcements regarding these measures were made on August 14.
