Relatives of political prisoners in Venezuela start hunger strike

Relatives of political prisoners in Venezuela began a hunger strike Saturday outside a prison in Caracas, as talks drag on over the adoption of a promised amnesty law.

Wearing face masks, the group of about 10 women lay down in a line at the entrance to a national police facility known as Zone 7, from which 17 political prisoners were released in the early hours of the morning.
