Venezuela announces proposed amnesty law and plan to repurpose Helicoide
Posted on 2026-01-31 12:45:13
Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodriguez has announced a proposed
amnesty law for hundreds of prisoners.

She says the law would cover cases from 1999 to today, but would exclude
killings, serious human rights abuses, and drug trafficking.

Rodriguez also says the Helicoide detention center in Caracas will be
converted into a sports and social services center.

Rights group Foro Penal says 711 political prisoners remain, and it urges
releases to continue while lawmakers debate the bill.

The government denies holding political prisoners and says those jailed
committed crimes, while it has cited higher release figures without a clear
timeline.

The United Nations has previously alleged abuses at Helicoide, claims the
government has rejected.

Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado says the proposal reflects outside
pressure, as questions continue over who would qualify for amnesty.
