Delcy Rodríguez announced 1,046 prisoners released since she took office, matching U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's figure.
The releases are part of the Peace and Democratic Coexistence Program, following a dialogue cycle between the government and opposition.
Foro Penal confirmed only 64 of 131 recent releases, indicating verification gaps.
Opposition leader María Corina Machado attributed the releases to U.S. pressure and the capture of Maduro.
