Venezuela Grants Amnesty to 379 Political Prisoners Under New Law

Venezuelan authorities have taken a significant step by granting amnesty to 379 political prisoners following the enactment of a new law. This decision by the National Assembly is part of efforts to release hundreds of detainees who have been imprisoned over alleged plots against the government. The law expressly omits those charged with promoting or facilitating forceful actions against Venezuela's sovereignty by foreign entities. Opposition figures have expressed concerns over these exclusions, including cases linked to armed forces. Discussions continue as the process for granting amnesty is implemented by the courts.
