Dozens of people gathered in different cities around the world to make visible the issue of political prisoners in Venezuela.
The call was made this Saturday by the opposition leader María Corina Machado through her social networks.
“There are still more than 500 civil and military political prisoners who are behind bars at this hour,” María Corina Machado said in a video she broadcast through her social networks.
The images, published here, were disseminated by social networks @mundoconvzla and @convzlacomando this Sunday.
The NGO Foro Penal reported this Thursday that 454 political prisoners remain imprisoned in Venezuela, including 41 foreigners or dual nationals, when an amnesty law limited to certain crimes and specific periods of time remains in force in the country.
The current government of the acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, approved an Amnesty Law that has been seriously criticized for its legal loopholes. Under this legal instrument, more than 8,000 political prisoners have been released, according to data from the interim government that took office after the capture of Nicolás Maduro on January 3.
