Does Venezuela have Political Prisoners?

Richard Blanco, a Caracas city administrator and an opposition party leader has been ordered to stay in prison by the Venezuelan court while waiting for his trail to begin. He is accused of hurting a police officer during a protest this August.

Relatives of Blanco and opposition leaders are saying that he is one of two-dozen political prisoners while Chavez denies that there are any political prisoners at all.
