Since the United States launched a military operation in Caracas aimed at capturing President Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela has been able to gradually change some of the conditions that Maduro's regime had kept under tight control.
Among them has been the release of political prisoners who spent months confined to cells at the request of Maduro's authoritarian government. While hundreds of people who were unjustly imprisoned have been freed, hundreds of others have been arrested for demonstrations and protests against the government.
