Venezuelan Interim Government Proposes Nationwide Amnesty for Political PrisonersThe interim leadership in Venezuela has introduced a proposal for a comprehensive amnesty law aimed at the release of a significant number of political detainees, including opposition figures, human rights advocates, and journalists. The proposed legislation is designed to address cases dating back to 1999, with exceptions for those convicted of homicide, severe human rights violations, and drug-related offenses. Human rights organizations and opposition groups have long called for the liberation of individuals detained for their political beliefs or activities. Once intended as a commercial complex, the facility has gained notoriety as a site of alleged mistreatment and abuse against political detainees, according to findings from international human rights investigations. The amnesty proposal has sparked renewed debate within Venezuela about the path to national reconciliation and the restoration of democratic norms.
