Venezuela Announces Amnesty Bill for Hundreds of Political Prisoners Including Opposition Leaders

Hundreds of political prisoners in Venezuela, including opposition leaders, journalists and human rights activists, could soon be released under an amnesty bill proposed by the country's acting president, as part of efforts to ease tensions and improve relations with the international community. The bill aims to grant pardon to those detained without due process or for exercising their right to free expression. Opposition groups have welcomed the move, seeing it as a step towards ending a period of repression under President Maduro's rule. The amnesty could also pave the way for negotiations on resolving Venezuela's political crisis.
