The Maduro regime continues to weaponize more than 500 political prisoners as hostages and bargaining chips, brazenly mocking international agreements and human dignity. The international community and specifically U.S. authorities can not longer permit a criminal tyranny to dictate when and how to trample the fundamental rights of hundreds of innocent people. ​Now is not the time for lukewarm diplomacy or concessions; it is the time to demand immediate and unconditional freedom. Every day of silence is another day of complicity with torture and injustice. Venezuela does not need more sterile dialogues; it needs decisive action to end the kidnapping of an entire nation ​#FreePoliticalPrisoners #VenezuelaLibre #FreeThe500 #NoMoreMaduro #HumanRights realdonaldtrump marcorubio whitehouse statedept usembassyve jdvance petehegseth ma_elvirasalazar senrickscott
