18 prisoners have already been released in Venezuela
There are already 18 prisoners released in recent days in Venezuela, including the billiards Jose Maria Basoa Valdovinos eta Andres Martinez Adasme .
Venezuela's opposition and human rights groups have long called for the release of political prisoners, and these demands have intensified since Donald Trump arrested Maduro and took him to the US .
The Criminal Forum group estimates that there are 811 political prisoners in the country, including 80 foreigners from both States.
On Thursday, the President of Parliament and Chief Negotiator of Chavismo, Mr Rodriguez, announced that "a significant number" of prisoners have been released as a gesture to "consolidate peace and peaceful coexistence" in the country.
On 2 January, the Criminal Forum reported the release of "44 political prisoners" (42 men and 2 women), and on 29 December it reported 61 other releases.
