Venezuelan activist Javier Tarazona released during prisoner amnesty

Tarazona freed after four years in prison on ‘terrorism’ and conspiracy charges.

Venezuelan rights activist Javier Tarazona has been released after over four years in prison, where he was held on charges of “terrorism” and conspiracy. His brother announced the news, highlighting the significance of individual freedom in the broader fight for justice. Alongside Tarazona, over 300 political prisoners are reported to have been freed since the government began a series of releases earlier this year. The Venezuelan government has proposed an amnesty law aimed at further addressing the status of detainees, although many political prisoners remain incarcerated.
