[Venezuela] Protests: Peaceful protest

On 9 April 2025, in Tocoron (Aragua), relatives of political prisoners detained after the July 2024 presidential elections protested outside Tocoron prison to demand their release and respect for their rights. They gathered to pray as part of a protest series called Prayer for Freedom, organized by the Committee for the Liberation of Political Prisoners (CLIPPVE), in which relatives of detainees pray for their liberation. They carried white and purple balloons, candles, photos of their relatives and wore white t-shirts. They denounced that the detention of their family members has led to impoverishment, as the cost of supporting them and paying for transportation to the prison has drained their resources.
