Venezuela has released 88 more individuals detained following protests after the July 2024 election, following a previous release of 99 people on December 26. The government states these releases are part of a review ordered by President Nicolas Maduro. Local NGOs have verified at least 55 releases, with questions raised about the total number freed. Venezuela's government maintains it does not hold political prisoners. These actions occur amidst U.S. pressure on Maduro's administration.
