Venezuela Now: What about Human Rights?
After Nicolas Maduro was arrested by US military forces in January, there have been many reports about the release of political prisoners in Venezuela. But how many are still being kept behind bars, and what is the situation for human rights defenders under the new president?

Alfredo Romero, Director President of Foro Penal. Foro Penal is an NGO that provides legal assistance to political prisoners and their families in Venezuela.
Sonia Zapata, Coordinator of Foro Penal Norway and chair of The Norwegian Venezuelan Justice Alliance. Foro Penal is an NGO that provides legal assistance to political prisoners and their families in Venezuela.
Frank Conde Tangberg, Policy advisor in Amnesty International, Norway. Amnesty has a team working on the ground in Venezuela to document and investigate human rights abuses.
