🇻🇪⛓“We are not terrorists”: Relatives of political prisoners and protesters demand their release

Relatives and dozens of citizens requested on Thursday, August 8, the release of more than 300 political prisoners and 2,200 detained for protests against the results of the presidential elections. They made it clear that they are not "terrorists" or "fascists," as high-ranking officials of the Maduro administration have accused them of.

"We have never had this number of people arrested in so few days. In addition, the anti-terrorism law is being applied to all of them, absolutely all of them, which is outrageous," said the defender Marino Alvarado.

Mildred de Barillas, wife of Commissioner Gilbert Barillas, said that “it is horrible what they are going through inside.” She asked citizens “to support us in this fight for the freedom of all political prisoners (…) This fight is not over, we have to support each other, to continue fighting for their freedom and not continue allowing so many arrests as we have seen these days.”
