Son-in-law of Venezuelan opposition candidate freed from jail, wife says
AI Summary
Rafael Tudares, the son-in-law of Venezuelan opposition candidate Edmundo González, was released from prison after 380 days of detention. His release is one of over 150 that have occurred since the US military seized Nicolás Maduro and took him to New York on drug-trafficking charges. Delcy Rodríguez, Maduro's former vice-president, is now the acting president, backed by US President Donald Trump, who has praised her agreement to provide the US with Venezuelan oil. While the release of political prisoners was a condition set by the Trump administration, rights groups criticize the slow pace and discrepancy in numbers, with Foro Penal verifying only 151 releases compared to the government's claim of 400. Many released prisoners still face charges and restrictions on public speaking.
