Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Venezuela's government has begun to release Venezuelan and foreign political prisoners, less than a week after its former head, Nicolas Maduro, was seized in a U.S. military operation.
It was unclear how many prisoners were released on Thursday, but among them was former National Assembly vice president and opposition leader Enrique Marquez.
Henrique Capriles, a deputy of the National Assembly, posted a video of Marquez and Biagio Pilieri, a former deputy of the National Assembly, embracing loved ones in the street after being released from prison.
"This is one more step toward justice and the future," Capriles said in the caption to the video posted to X.
"Freedom for political prisoners! We want to see all of them embracing their loved ones."
The center-right Primero Justicia party also said Venezuelan-Spanish human rights lawyer and activist Rocio San Miguel was among those released.
Spain's foreign ministry confirmed in a statement of its own that five nationals -- including one with dual nationality -- were released on Thursday and were preparing travel to Spain.
"The Spanish Government extends its congratulations to these citizens, their families and friends," the ministry said, adding that Minister Jose Manuel Albares had spoken to all of them personally.

Heh ... so did The Bus Driver presidente.
😂👍
So...Orange Man Good?
So, how long before the left starts demanding the freed political prisoners be re-in prison because orange man bad?
“The release comes after the United States arrested Maduro in a surprise military operation on Saturday and brought him to the United States on charges of narcoterrorism.”
Let’s be more precise: These prisoners were released following President Trump’s bold decision to bring narco terrorist dictator Maduro to justice, and the world’s most powerful and sophisticated military executing the mission flawlessly. The people of Venezuela can now start to see a path to a better life.
Will Bolsonaro be one of them?
Spain is hateful to Trump.
More winning!
Bolsonero is in Brazil.
But Rand Paul said this wouldn’t work???
lol
already did work. He is behind the ball
Good news. It also seems to vindicate Trump’s actions.
No other President would have swooped in and captured Maduro. If they had, they would have followed up with apologies. You can never apologize enough.
The releases will be reversed if we let the old gang regain power before an honest election. This may be too intrusive for Rand Paul and other isolationists; but if we don’t finish what we started, we’ll end up worse than if we had never gotten involved.
Apparently the military operation was overpowering and really put the fear of God, I mean Trump, into them.
Time to take him out of prison there and institute him as president of Venezuela. He’d be much better than that Maduro crony chick.
You will get no argument with me on that!
When will our political prisoners like Tina Peters be released?
