"The last two journalists detained in Venezuela were released on Thursday [Feb. 26], one week after the enactment of the Amnesty Law, the National Union of Press Workers (SNTP, for its Spanish initials) reported.
Jonathan Carrillo, imprisoned since July 2022, was released with precautionary measures, while Pedro Urribarri, detained since May 2025, was granted complete freedom, SNTP Secretary General Marco Ruiz told EFE.
[...]
Last month, the SNTP reported a total of 28 journalists, media workers, and press workers 'illegally and arbitrarily detained,' who were released between January and February, 'most of them with precautionary measures,' Ruiz said.
[...]
Ruiz pointed out that although those journalists 'are all out, there is still no certainty' about who will benefit from the amnesty to close the still open cases and obtain complete freedom."
