Venezuela releases 9 Political prisoners, 1%: BFD

what a big fucking deal that the Maduro remnants government released just 9 prisoners, 5 of which were from Spain.

The political prisoners number between 800 and 1,200, so 9 is a minor concession.

In addition, who, besides Maduro, will be held accountable for the hundreds of prisoners that were killed and tortured in the Venezuelan jails?
