Venezuela to free 225 detained in post-election unrest: source

The release began early Saturday at four prisons in central Venezuela, the source said, a day after prosecutors opened a large-scale review of their cases. "So far, at least 70 political prisoners have been released," Alfredo Romero, director of the Foro Penal legal aid NGO, said on social media. Over 2,400 people were arrested during the unrest that followed the reelection of Maduro, which the opposition alleged was fraudulent. The violence left at least 28 dead and nearly 200 people injured, according to prosecutors.
