Clippve reports that released political prisoners still face judicial processes and restrictions such as periodic appearances and travel bans.

As of August 15, Clippve verified the release of 70 out of 131 political prisoners announced by the administration of Delcy Rodríguez.

The organization demands public lists, independent verification, closure of arbitrary cases, and immediate, full, and unconditional freedom for all political prisoners.

Clippve criticizes the use of releases as government propaganda or political negotiation, and notes a pattern of unverifiable announced figures since January.
