The relatives who have remained vigil since January 8 in Zone 7 expressed their satisfaction with the release of the political prisoners and indicated that they remain “united and firm” waiting for the release of their loved ones.
A caravan led by political leaders Juan Pablo Guanipa and Jesús Armas, released from prison on February 8, arrived outside the Bolivarian National Police, known as Zone 7, in Boleíta, Caracas, to accompany the relatives of the political prisoners.
The group met in the early afternoon in El Paraiso, in the west of Caracas, and from there they left in a caravan to El Helicoide where they expressed their support for the relatives and announced that they were joining the fight with them. Subsequently, the group of motorized vehicles left for the headquarters of the Bolivarian National Police.
WE ARE NOT AFRAID!

Juan Pablo Guanipa, upon arriving in Zone 7, expressed that Venezuela has the right to be a free and democratic country. He urged those “illegitimately in power” to respect the rules.
At this moment, he said, the fundamental thing is to ensure that all political prisoners are released. «We demand the freedom of each and every one. We demand that this country begin a great process of democratic transformation that allows us to say: how good it is to live in Venezuela, how good it is to live with rules, how good a democratic country is…let Venezuela live free,” Guanipa emphasized.
Very significant that relatives from Zone 7 gave a list of political prisoners from that place to @JuanPGuanipa.
