Foro Penal raised the number of verified releases of political prisoners to 81.
Gonzalo Himiob, vice president of Foro Penal, announced the verification on X.
Alfredo Romero, president of Foro Penal, published a list of 78 names earlier, with 73 releases on Friday and 5 on Saturday.
The releases follow the regime's announcement of more than a hundred political prisoners being freed as part of a new negotiation stage.

The claims, made testable
- asserted — check unavailable Foro Penal raised the number of verified releases of political prisoners to 81. (evidence: not measured)
- asserted — check unavailable Gonzalo Himiob, vice president of Foro Penal, announced the verification on X. (evidence: not measured)

Pattern: 595 related Venezuela signals in the last 30 days on political prisoners, releases, negotiations, human rights.
What would change the assessment
- If the number of verified releases by Foro Penal exceeds 81 or drops below 81 within the next 90 days, the article's count is outdated. (within 90 days — Foro Penal official statements or X account)
