Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek Saab announced the release of 146 protesters, raising the total number of released detainees to 1,515 ahead of Maduro's controversial third-term swearing-in.
Despite releasing prisoners, Maduro's government faces severe criticism for its harsh crackdown on post-election protests, with human rights groups reporting 23 killed and thousands detained.
Accusations of election fraud abound, with the opposition claiming an unfair victory for Maduro and presenting evidence that their candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, won the election.
Following his electoral win, Maduro and his allies have committed to pursuing opposition leaders like Gonzalez, even offering a reward for his arrest.
