Around forty political prisoners have been freed from several prisons in Venezuela following a second round of negotiations between the government of Delcý Rodríguez and the opposition, according to RFI.
These releases come just days after a meeting between the interim president and U.S. President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. RFI does not specify the identities of all those released or the timeline for the next stages of discussions.
This new round of talks takes place in a context where political prisoners have long been a point of friction regularly raised by human rights organizations and foreign governments regarding Venezuelan authorities.
RFI's report does not indicate whether additional releases are planned in the near term, nor what concessions, if any, the two sides may have made as part of these negotiations.
