A little over 540 prisoners have been freed in Venezuela since January 8, Alfredo Romero, the director of legal rights NGO Foro Penal, said on Tuesday.
• Of the 545 political prisoners released since January, 91 were freed since an amnesty law passed on February 20, Romero said on X.
• The government claims nearly 2,200 people have been released from Venezuelan jails or had other legal restrictions withdrawn since the start of the new amnesty law.
• International observers have remained skeptical, citing lack of transparency and due process in the release process.
