Relatives of Venezuelan political prisoners light candles during a vigil marking 100 days since they began calling for their release outside El Rodeo I prison in Guatire, Miranda state, Venezuela on April 18, 2026. Under pressure from Washington, Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodriguez pushed through an amnesty law that provided for the release of hundreds of political prisoners. The amnesty came into force on February 19, 2026, but it is not automatic, as it requires the benefit to be applied for through the courts. (Photo by Maryorin Mendez / AFP via Getty Images)
