March called in Caracas for freedom of political prisoners

A "Great March One Voice For Freedom" is set to take place in Caracas on August 24, organized by the Alliance for the Freedom of Political Prisoners. The demonstration aims to demand the release of all individuals detained for political reasons in Venezuela. The organizers are calling on families of political prisoners, human rights defenders, journalists, and the general public to join the march.

The event is scheduled to begin at 11:00 a.m. at Plaza Parque Carabobo, located in front of the main headquarters of the Public Ministry. Participants are requested to wear white clothing and for relatives of detainees to bring photographs of their imprisoned family members. This visual representation aims to highlight the scale of political detentions in the country.

We call on families of political prisoners, human rights defenders, journalists, and citizens to accompany us to demand the freedom of all political prisoners.

The alliance explicitly rejected the government's recent announcement regarding alternative measures for 131 political prisoners, which followed initial dialogue rounds between the ruling party and opposition sectors. "It's not 131, it's all of them! All of them!" the alliance declared in their call to action, emphasizing their demand for the unconditional release of every political detainee. The march seeks to amplify the voices demanding justice and freedom for those imprisoned on political grounds.
