A Czech citizen who had been serving a sentence in a Venezuelan prison since 2024 has been released along with a group of other foreign detainees, Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka said, quoted by Reuters, BTA reports.
According to information from Czech media, the man was accused in connection with an alleged plot to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro and participate in an attempt to overthrow the government in Caracas.
The speaker of the Venezuelan parliament, Jorge Rodriguez, announced on Wednesday that the number of political prisoners released in the country now exceeds 400. However, human rights organizations dispute these figures and claim that the real number of those released in recent days is significantly lower - between 60 and 70 people.
