Three prominent Venezuelan opposition politicians close to Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado were released from prison on Sunday, about a month after the start of a broader process to free political detainees following former president Nicolás Maduro’s ouster. The releases come just days before lawmakers are set to vote on a historic amnesty bill that would cover charges used to suppress dissent during nearly three decades of socialist rule.
Those freed include former National Assembly vice president Juan Pablo Guanipa, who shared a video showing his release papers and said he had spent ten months in hiding and nine months imprisoned. Machado’s former legal adviser Perkins Rocha and former Barinas governor-elect Freddy Superlano were also released. Human rights group Foro Penal confirmed 35 releases on Sunday and said about 400 political detainees have been freed since January 8, though roughly 700 remain jailed.
Acting President Delcy Rodríguez, formerly Maduro’s vice president, described the amnesty initiative as a milestone toward national reconciliation. Her government has begun opening the oil sector and restoring diplomatic ties with Washington, severed in 2019.
