A hunger strike that started on Saturday is now the last effort of relatives of Venezuelan prisoners to demand the freedom of their loved ones. Politicians in the country are still debating an amnesty law for dissidents imprisoned under President Nicolas Maduro’s rule.
The Committee for the Freedom of Political Prisoners announced that the hunger strike is being staged by 10 people and would last until the government frees all 33 political prisoners that are held at a prison known as Zona 7, in a message posted on Instagram.
