Johan and Joselyn Prato spent 67 days in jail for allegedly heckling Venezuelan Tourism Minister Marleny Contreras on a public beach. Contreras happens to be the wife of Diosdado Cabello, president of the National Assembly, and the second most powerful Chavista after President Nicolás Maduro.+

On October 27, attorney Luis Betancourt announced that the plight of the Prato siblings had come to an end — for now. A judge has ordered their release from prison while they await trial.

On the day in question, over 100 Venezuelans spontaneously gathered to demonstrate against Contreras. Hours later, Venezuelan police arrested five individuals, including the Pratos.

“Joselyn still has a bruise on her cheekbone, a cut under her eye, and rectal bleeding, as a result of the beatings she endured from the officers who detained her,” Betancourt says. The lawyer plans to demand a full investigation into the individuals who fractured Joselyn’s arm. “Prosecutors have an obligation to indict those who beat up Joselyn and Johan,” he says.+

1. But the useful idiots here still think that there's a real democracy in Venezuela

We'll see how it goes on Dec 6 (if there are any elections, that is)

2. Gee, I wonder how the young girl got rectal bleeding?

Some of the advanced police techniques taught Venezuelan security forces by their Cuban "advisors"?

3. Yeah, that doesn't sound like a regime that preaches "paz y amor" nt
