At around 6:00 pm on Tuesday, the court ordered her release on parole, with the conditions including check-up visits every 30 days at the court, explained Jose Melean, the defense lawyer by the Cabimas Human Rights Commission.

She was detained for 14 days at the headquarters of the Scientific and Investigation Police in Cabimas, during the investigation phase. She has now been remanded to her home.
Urdaneta posted in her WhatsApp status image of Maduro on a gallows, with a rope tied around his neck, surrounded by hooded men. After making the publication, along with an emoji, she was arrested.
Urdaneta is a community doctor who graduated from a Maduro-regime university. She graduated in 2017 and worked at the Integral Diagnosis Center (CDI in Spanish) of her hometown. The CDIs ambulatory is also a controversial public health-care initiative, controlled by Cuba with the Maduro regime and has been denounced as using Cuban doctors as slave labor.
Andreina is a second-year resident of the Post-Graduate Program in Gynecology and Obstetrics at Cabimas Hospital, and mother a 16-year-old daughter.
AndreinaSomosTodos (We are all Andreina) was the hashtag that friends, classmates, and family positioned through social networks after her arrest. “We never lost hope that she would return home,” one of her fellow graduates told El Pitazo.
