Some of the names of those released are Eduak Ramírez, Luiz Perozo, Daniel Acacio, Andrew Morales, Frank Revilla. María Elba Delgado (Las Crisálidas). The teenagers released in La Guaira are Dainer Abraham Rivero, Ángel Gabriel González and Luisneider Ángel Zúñiga.
All of these teenagers are 17 years old. Abraham Rivero and Luisneider Zúñiga were arrested on the night of July 29 of last year in Macuto as hooded men in a black van, without license plates, and were subsequently handed over to the Secretariat of Citizen Security of La Guaira.
