Time to Read 3 Min

This Thursday, the Venezuelan National Assembly ( Parliament ) unanimously approved a historic amnesty law that should result in the release of hundreds of political prisoners after 27 years of imprisonment. The interim president, Delcy Rodriguez, signed the text almost immediately.

Rodriguez argued that "one must realize" how to ask for forgiveness and that the law may lead to the widespread release of political prisoners after passing a traditional law enacting the amnesty. Rodriguez stated from the Miraflores political house in Caracas, as confirmed by AFP," One must know how to ask for forgiveness and one must also know how to obtain forgiveness. " Rodriguez is in power under the strain of Washington. Prior to the asylum request, she started the release process. According to the Foro Penal, 448 have been freed, but 644 are still serving time behind bars. The only thing I regret is that Deputy Rodriguez said at the end," Today, yesterday, and all these days, but especially now, has been a time of deep conversation. " Article 7 was modified and approved universally, which was the cause of the delay in the February 12 argument. The court, which are accused of serving Chavismo, is included in the asylum because it covers "any person who is or may be prosecuted or convicted for crimes or acts committed" during the 27 years of Chavismo. The new word also provides the option for those living abroad to arrange for a member to be sent to the judge. The person may not be deprived of rights for the purposes set forth in this law and must make an appearance privately before the competent judge for the purpose of issuing amnesty. " Delcy Rodriguez herself has called for a significant method change. Restrictions: Article 8 lists the precise acts that the parole covers, from the oil strike in 2002 to the revolution against Hugo Chavez and the protests against Maduro's denied reelection in 2024. Critics argued that the entire 27-year-long Chavismo may be subject to the asylum without restrictions. It was approved. According to the Constitution, Content 9 exempts human rights violations and crimes against humanity from the asylum. Additionally, it excludes "persons who are or may be charged with or be convicted of encouraging, initiating, obtaining, utilizing, financing, or engaging in military or violent acts against the people, sovereignty, and regional integrity of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela by international states, corporations, or individuals. "

Less than two months ago, the United States bombed Venezuela.

For instance, opposition leader Machado and other officials like Leopoldo Lopez have been accused on numerous occasions of calling for attacks.

A unique commission, according to a source, will examine these cases independently, according to a source.

After hiding in Venezuela for more than a year, Machado is now back in the United States. Since 2020, Lopez has been imprisoned in Spain.

According to separate experts from the UN, the asylum "must apply to all victims of unlawful trial and been integrated into a complete transitional justice system. "

Hunger strikes

Since the first release date on January 8 saw the release of thousands of community members, thousands have gathered outside the prisons. AFP observed that many people silently followed the program on their cell phones.

The 448 people who were released were given provisional release, a requirement that activists make of the amnesty must guarantee complete freedom.

A group of 10 ladies, of whom only one remained, began a hunger strike on February 14 that ended with the passage of the law.
