Relatives call for the release of political prisoners in Venezuela

On Monday, relatives of political prisoners held a protest in Caracas, Venezuela, to demand the immediate release of detainees. The demonstrators called for the government to expedite the excarceration process that was announced ten days prior to the event.

The protest occurred within the context of ongoing dialogue between the government and the opposition, a process currently being facilitated by the United States. The families are seeking follow-through on commitments made regarding the status of these political prisoners.
