Just days before another politically staged election which President Maduro is bound to win, some 300 political prisoners being held in one of Venezuela's most notorious prisons in the centre of the capital Caracas, have taken over control of the building.

The inmates held at El Helicoide, the headquarters of Venezuela's secret service which serves as a prison, say they took over part of its cell blocks with videos taken from the surrounding streets indeed showing something going on.

Mr Daniel Ceballos, the former opposition leader and mayor of the western city of San Cristóbal, claimed the inmates had taken control of parts of the jail and were fighting the secret service. Via telephone he stated: "We're demanding that all political prisoner be freed, all of us who have been held here, kidnapped for years without justice or due process."
Another urgent call from inside the prison came from Mr Joshua Holt, a US citizen from Utah who has been held at the said jail for more than two years already pending his trial.

26-year-old Mr Holt pleaded for help in a video message: "My life is threatened. I need help. They're outside, they're trying to break in, they're saying they're going to kill me."
