Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Pablo Guanipa was released on Sunday after being imprisoned for over eight months in Caracas. Guanipa, a close ally of María Corina Machado, was detained in late May and accused by Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello of involvement in a "terrorist group" plotting to boycott the legislative election. His brother refuted the accusation, stating it was an attempt to suppress dissent. Guanipa's release occurs amid increasing pressure on the government of acting President Delcy Rodríguez to free political prisoners. While Rodríguez's government announced plans to release a significant number of prisoners, families and rights organizations have criticized the slow progress.
