#SanPedro, #Venezuela
Juan Pablo Guanipa and Perkins Rocha were released from custody on Sunday as the Venezuelan government prepares to pass a general amnesty law proposed by acting President Delcy Rodríguez.The releases follow the capture of Nicolás Maduro by the USA on January 3 and a recent visit by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk to discuss a roadmap for reconciliation.While opposition leader María Corina Machado celebrated the freedom of her allies, human rights groups demand the release of the remaining 687 political prisoners documented in the country.
