What are the immediate consequences of the Venezuelan government's use of political prisoners, such as the Basque tourists, as leverage in international relations?

Two Basque tourists, José María Basoa and Andrés Martínez, are imprisoned in Rodeo 1 prison in Venezuela, known for its harsh conditions and use for political prisoners. They are falsely accused of terrorism by the Maduro regime and share the prison with other Spanish and Venezuelan citizens, including Alejandro González, Fernando Noya, and Uaiparu Guerere. The prison conditions are described as inhumane by the UN, with small cells, inadequate sanitation, and limited access to hygiene.
