JEP verified 83 releases (17 women, 66 men) since August 14.
11 of the released individuals were not previously in JEP's registry of political prisoners.
448 political prisoners remain detained: 408 men and 40 women.
JEP demands full release, sobreseimiento of cases, and transparency in official lists.

The claims, made testable
- asserted — check unavailable JEP verified 83 releases (17 women, 66 men) since August 14. (evidence: not measured)
- asserted — check unavailable 11 of the released individuals were not previously in JEP's registry of political prisoners. (evidence: not measured)

Pattern: 3353 related Venezuela signals in the last 30 days on Political prisoners, Human rights, Venezuela.
What would change the assessment
- If the Venezuelan government publishes an official list of released prisoners that matches JEP's verified count of 83 or exceeds it, the gap would be resolved. (within 90 days — Official government gazette or announcements)
- If JEP updates its count of political prisoners to a number significantly different from 448 within the next three months, the current figure would be outdated. (within 90 days — JEP reports)
