WATCH: How Leopoldo López's Mother Communicates With Son From Sole Confinement

The distance is not an impediment for the Venezuelan politician, activist, and political prisoner Leopoldo López, to communicate with his mother, Antonieta Mendoza de López. From the top of his solitary confinement, in the Ramo Verde Prison (Cárcel de Ramo Verde), a military detention center on the outskirts of Caracas, López shouts messages of patriotism.

BBC Mundo accompanied Lopez's mother, to walk the path she has been traveling for more than two years, to be able to maintain some kind of communication with the inmate.

On February 18, 2014 Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo López was incarcerated and later convicted to more than 13 years of prison for inciting violence as the leader of a street protest in which students marched against the government of President Nicolas Maduro. Throughout the previous administration, President Barack Obama was a vocal advocate for the release of López and even President Donald Trump agrees as evidenced in one of his tweets.

In the video you can clearly hear López sending a message to all Venezuelans after his mother asked him if he had something to say: "Que viva Venezuela," he responds in a vigorous way. As a follow-up, he continues to call for democracy and elections. After several messages, is possible to hear as the jail police try to cover Lopez's voice with whistles.

Mrs. Antonieta replied him that the message had arrived in a clear way, and after exchanging more words she said goodbye to her son asking him to take care of himself.
