Original: Venezuela releases dozens of political prisoners as election calls grow
Venezuelan authorities have released dozens of political prisoners as calls grow, both at home and internationally, for elections in the country. The move comes amid mounting pressure on the government and is being read by observers as a possible gesture ahead of a potential electoral process, though the full scope of the releases and who was freed remains to be detailed.
Why now: The releases coincide with growing domestic and international demands for elections in Venezuela.
