VENEZUELA: Political prisoners released
The release of up to 225 political prisoners in Venezuela was unexpectedly announced by Attorney General Tarek William Saab on 17 November. Saab gave no explanation for their liberation other than to claim that new evidence had come to light. However, it seems possible that President Nicolás Maduro’s government was attempting to redress some of the huge reputational damage it has faced since the 28 July presidential election, which it is widely regarded as having stolen, and the fierce repression that ensued thereafter.
