Protesters march in Venezuela over amnesty bill debate

Protesters in Caracas staged dueling demonstrations as Venezuela’s National Assembly debated a bill granting amnesty to political prisoners. Interim President Delcy Rodriguez, who has released some prisoners but faced criticism over the process, aims to address political violence from 1999 to the present. The bill, which excludes serious crimes like murder and human rights violations, has not yet received a public reading, and concerns remain about its implementation. Meanwhile, the opposition continues to struggle against government suppression ahead of the controversial 2024 elections.
