Venezuela’s new leaders and President Trump have alluded to a major release of political prisoners, but the liberations have been slow to come.

Families with loved ones in prison gathered for a third consecutive day Saturday outside prisons in Caracas and other communities, hoping to learn of a possible release. On Thursday, Venezuela ’s government pledged to free what it described as a significant number of prisoners.

Venezuela has begun releasing prisoners in what a top government official described as a gesture to “seek peace” less than a week after former President Nicolás Maduro was captured by U.S. forces to face drug-trafficking charges.

As Venezuela’s interim authorities began to release political prisoners, some of their families raced to the notorious prison that symbolized Nicolás Maduro’s authoritarian rule.
