General amnesty for political prisoners in Venezuela
The interim president has announced a new law that is expected to be debated and approved next week.
The pardon could extend to hundreds of political prisoners still incarcerated from the governments of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro, many of whom face open legal proceedings. The announcement comes almost a month after the releases began, which have been slow and gradual since U.S. forces captured Nicolás Maduro in the early hours of January 3. More than 800 prisoners have been released since then, according to the Chavista regime—302, according to the prisoners' advocates.
