Recent news focuses on the announced amnesty bill that could lead to the release of hundreds detained for political reasons. Families of these prisoners have been holding vigils outside Rodeo I, hoping for the release of their loved ones. However, despite the announcement, the Venezuelan government has provided little information about who will be released or when, leaving families in a state of uncertainty. Furthermore, beyond those potentially eligible for release, at least 66 people taken by state authorities remain missing, adding to the distress and urgency of the situation in Guatire and across Venezuela.
