Venezuelan government frees five opposition politicians
1 November 2016 Latin America & Caribbean
Five Venezuelan opposition politicians were freed from detention on Monday, a day after the government and the opposition held talks on how to end the country's political crisis.
The opposition had called for the release of what it says are "political prisoners".
The five had been held on charges ranging from allegedly carrying an explosive device to "harming armed forces' morale".
They had denied any wrongdoing.
