President Jorge Rodríguez announced eight months prior that he would release 'a number important' of political prisoners as a unilateral gesture for peace

By September 1, 2024, the Venezuelan Prisoners' Freedom Committee (Clippve) reported 328 political prisoners, mostly held in Rodeo I prison in Miranda state

Military personnel constitute 145 of the 328 political prisoners, indicating selective application of amnesty measures

Families have waited nearly 250 days for releases, with some detainees like Igbert Marín held since 2020

What would change the assessment

• Official prison statistics matching the reported count of 328 political prisoners (within 90 days — Venezuelan Prison System statistics, Foro Penal Venezolano reports)
