Ramón López, member of the 2015 National Assembly delegation, said they are working to free all political prisoners in Venezuela.

The chavista regime announced the release of 131 prisoners on Friday, which López welcomed but deemed insufficient.

López stated that political prisoners are innocent and that their release is a right, not a negotiation point.

The release was achieved through efforts by Dinorah Figuera and the interim government of Delcy Rodríguez, with US intermediation.
