Venezuela begins releasing political prisoners following ground-breaking election deal

Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro released five political prisoners Wednesday night, a few hours after the U.S. government announced it will partially lift sanctions on the country’s socialist regime, said opposition chief negotiator Gerardo Blyde.

Unconfirmed versions indicated that a sixth opponent had also been released on Thursday morning and that new releases could occur during the day.
