Bukele Proposes Prisoner Exchange with Venezuela for Deportees
Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele has proposed a prisoner swap with Venezuela, offering to exchange detained Venezuelan deportees for political prisoners held by Nicolás Maduro. This proposal follows criticism of El Salvador’s treatment of deportees, amid ongoing human rights concerns.
On Sunday, President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador proposed a prisoner exchange with Venezuela, aiming to swap Venezuelan deportees from the United States for what he deemed “political prisoners” held by the Maduro government. Bukele’s message, posted on social media platform X, specifically addressed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and identified several notable opposition figures and media personnel detained following Venezuela’s recent electoral crackdown.
President Bukele’s proposal for a prisoner swap with Venezuela highlights ongoing international concerns regarding deportations and human rights. The proposal appears to be a diplomatic maneuver in light of the scrutiny faced by his government for its treatment of deportees. As Bukele engages with Maduro’s administration over the exchange, it reflects broader geopolitical complexities surrounding political prisoners in Venezuela.
