El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has proposed a controversial exchange involving 252 Venezuelans deported by the US, seeking the release of Venezuelan political prisoners in return. Bukele's proposal faces skepticism, particularly from Venezuelan authorities who accuse El Salvador of unlawfully detaining these individuals. Prominent prisoners suggested for release include journalist Roland Carreno and human rights lawyer Rocio San Miguel. US envoy Adam Boehler has expressed support, indicating the inclusion of American detainees, while concerns about human rights violations and legal proceedings surround the detentions in El Salvador.
Bukele proposed sending 252 Venezuelans deported from the US to Venezuela in exchange for political prisoners held by the Maduro regime, stirring international criticism.
The treatment received by Venezuelans in the United States and El Salvador constitutes a serious violation of international human rights law and constitutes a crime against humanity.
Venezuelan prosecutor Tarek William Saab has criticized Bukele's proposals as cynical, calling for clarity about the legal status of the detained Venezuelans.
US special envoy Adam Boehler praised Bukele’s proposal, mentioning that among those proposed for release were ten Americans, indicating international interests in the exchange.
