The political prisoners, including US citizen Joshua Holt, began a protest in El Helicoide (emblematic prison of the government of Venezuela, where La Tumba is located), demanding respect for their human rights and were repressed.

The riot is due to the fact that most of the cases have no evidence or have been fabricated, therefore they do not allow them to have a trial in which they can prove their innocence. The government keeps them imprisoned along with those accused of common crimes, who caused these injuries to political prisoner Gregory Sanabria.
According to the journalist Daniel Blanco, the group of Immediate Actions, has orders not to assault while US citizen Joshua Holt is in the riot

On the other hand, according to a tweet of the US embassy in Venezuela, the Venezuelan government did not want to give answers to the charge d'affaires of the United States, about the situation.
