Jorge Arreaza: Political prisoner release not on dialogue agenda
National Assembly Deputy Jorge Arreaza stated that the release of political prisoners was not included in the agenda during the first cycle of dialogue between the government and the opposition. Arreaza noted that while the government recently announced the release of 131 detainees following a Public Ministry request, the specific issue of political prisoners was not raised during the discussions.
Arreaza expressed uncertainty regarding whether the topic will be addressed in future negotiation stages. He also cautioned that individuals accused of serious crimes should not be granted full freedom, arguing that such measures should not allow individuals to return to attacking the state.
Human rights organizations have called for greater transparency regarding recent releases, noting that alternative measures to detention do not necessarily equate to full freedom. Meanwhile, the release of political prisoners remains a central demand for opposition sectors.
