Summary
Radio Marti reported that Juan Pablo Guanipa was moved to house arrest in Maracaibo after being re-captured; families of political prisoners marched to the National Assembly after a second reading of an amnesty bill was abruptly postponed.
Radio Marti reported that Juan Pablo Guanipa was transferred to house arrest in Maracaibo on Feb. 10 after being recaptured shortly after an earlier release. His son, Ramf3n Guanipa, gave remarks condemning repression and urging continued public pressure.
The bulletin said that relatives of other political prisoners shifted vigils from detention-center gates to the Palacio Federal Legislativo and that the National Assemblys planned second reading and action on an amnesty bill was postponed without a new date. The report quoted family members and noted that Deputies such as Nora Bracho received relatives and described their situation as difficult; the bulletin presented the actions as appeals for information and requests to be heard by legislators.
Radio Marti did not provide a statement from Venezuelan authorities explaining the postponement or the reasons for the detainees transfers; the bulletin characterized the events as part of ongoing tensions over the status of political prisoners and legislative timing.
