Pattern: 364 related Venezuela signals in the last 30 days on Political prisoners, Human rights, US-Venezuela dialogue, Judicial system.
What would change the assessment
- If any of the 131 released prisoners are re-arrested within 90 days on similar charges. (within 90 days — Foro Penal reports, news wires)
- If the Venezuelan government officially denies the release of 131 prisoners or provides a significantly different number. (within 30 days — Official government communications, Ministry of Communication)
