Venezuela Frees Prisoners

Venezuela is letting some people go from prison. Many people think these people were kept for their ideas. This is a big change for Venezuela. It can help Venezuela be friends with other countries. Venezuela says this is for peace.

The people started to be free on Saturday. Many are now out of prison. Venezuela says this helps its country. A leader named Jorge Rodríguez said it is a "smart move." He said Venezuela wants peace.

The United States is also changing. A former leader, Donald Trump, stopped attacks. This and the prisoner release show the US is thinking again. US leaders met with Venezuela's leaders. They want to talk more.

Many groups asked Venezuela to free prisoners. The US asked for this. Human rights groups also asked. Venezuela was said to hold people who disagreed. Some think there are many such prisoners. Five people from Spain were freed.

The US and Venezuela did not have good talks for years. They stopped talking in 2019. Spain said the releases are "good." This shows other countries see Venezuela trying to be better. We will watch what happens next. Will more people be freed? Will Venezuela show it respects rights?
