Relatives of detainees joined the demonstration, holding candles and photos of their loved ones while chanting for freedom and respect for human rights.
The gathering came a day after Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote a peaceful democratic transition in Venezuela. Many participants celebrated the recognition as a symbol of hope for change, describing it as a tribute to the broader struggle of Venezuelans seeking justice and liberty after decades of political repression.
