Venezuela: Figuera welcomes the releases of political prisoners with hope

The president of the National Assembly elected in 2015, Dinorah Figuera, welcomed with hope the recent releases of political prisoners in Venezuela, underlining the importance of reuniting families. "With hope for the reunification of Venezuelan families we receive the news of the releases", he wrote on “It is not everyone and they deserve full freedom, we continue to demand relentlessly until every citizen can be reunited with their family,” he said. On Thursday Figuera reported that he had met the families of prisoners and those persecuted politically, making a commitment to work so that the releases began to materialize in the following days. Venezuelan authorities today announced alternative measures to detention for 131 people.
