Overview
- Foro Penal confirmed the excarceration of Yevhenii Trush, a Ukrainian student on the autism spectrum detained since October 20, 2024.
- The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights granted Trush precautionary measures in April 2025, citing grave and urgent risk to his rights.
- Foro Penal says it has verified 100 excarcerations since January 8, while the main opposition coalition reports 130 over the same span.
- Recent releases verified by Foro Penal include three German and three Dutch nationals, and Voluntad Popular reported the release of activist Carlos Azuaje.
- Officials describe the ongoing actions as a December-initiated case review and assert there are no political prisoners, a claim disputed by NGOs that report hundreds still jailed.
