CARACAS: A young Venezuelan violinist who became a beloved fixture at anti-government protests has been released after spending 19 days in police custody.
Wuilly Arteaga, 23, was freed overnight Tuesday, attorney general Tarek William Saab said on Twitter. His release was confirmed by Alfredo Romero, head of a human rights group called Foro Penal.
The deputy speaker of the opposition-controlled National Assembly, Freddy Guevara, celebrated Arteaga’s release. "May his music once again fill the people of Venezuela with hope," Guevara wrote on Twitter.
