Venezuela releases at least 80 more political prisoners, Foro Penal says

At least 80 political prisoners were released in Venezuela on Sunday, according to the rights organization Foro Penal, which is compiling information on those released from prisons across the country.

Those figures may therefore be recorded.

Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodríguez, who took over the country's rule after the US capture of Nicolás Maduro in early January, has promised to continue releasing political prisoners.

The government says that 626 prisoners have been released so far. However, Foro Penal has only been able to confirm about half of the releases.
