252 Venezuelan migrants, deported from the US to El Salvador, were released after four months of alleged abuse in a notorious prison. Detainees reported beatings, lack of medical care, and denial of due process. The release came as part of a prisoner exchange deal between the US and Venezuela. The Salvadoran government has not yet responded to allegations of human rights violations. The migrants, now back in Venezuela, describe their ordeal as a 'nightmare' and express relief at their release.
