""they've been great. ... Everything we've wanted, they've given us.""
""Consider this a gesture by the Bolivarian (Venezuelan) government, which is broadly intended to seek peace,""
Venezuela released several high-profile opposition figures, activists, and journalists, including both citizens and foreigners. The government described the releases as a gesture intended to seek peace. The action followed the recent capture of former President Nicolas Maduro by U.S. forces on drug-trafficking charges. U.S. President Donald Trump said the releases occurred at the request of the United States and praised acting President Delcy Rodriguez. Jorge Rodriguez announced a significant number of planned releases. Advocacy group Foro Penal identified released individuals including Biagio Pilieri and Enrique Marquez, and videos show them reunited with family outside prison.
