Families Demand Expansion of Delcy Rodríguez's Amnesty Law

Families of political prisoners are urging the Venezuelan National Assembly to expand the scope of a new amnesty bill proposed by Delcy Rodríguez to prevent hundreds from remaining in detention.Following a five-hour session where officials heard forty testimonies, Ernesto Villegas and Jorge Arreaza confirmed that public consultations will continue before the final vote scheduled for later this week.While the government of Delcy Rodríguez claims to have released 897 individuals since December, the human rights organization Foro Penal has only verified 431 releases.
