NGOs estimate that there are still close to 1,000 political prisoners in Venezuela despite claims by new leaders

CARACAS: Venezuelans waited Sunday for more political prisoners to be freed as ousted president Nicolas Maduro defiantly claimed from his US jail cell that he was “doing well”…

Penitentiary Services Ministry says those freed had been 'deprived of their liberty' for disruptive acts.

The announcement contradicts claims from local rights groups that no more than 70 prisoners have been freed.
