Venezuela Parliament to Debate Amnesty Bill, Could Free Hundreds of Political Prisoners

• Venezuela's parliament will debate an amnesty bill that could free hundreds of opposition members, activists, and human rights defenders.
• The bill addresses political prisoners detained for months or years, a significant shift from decades of denial by authorities.
• Acting President Delcy Rodríguez proposed the bill after the US military captured then-President Nicolás Maduro.
• The opposition and human rights organizations view the proposal with cautious optimism, raising concerns about implementation and eligibility.
• The bill, if approved, will cover political violence from 1999 to the present, excluding those convicted of murder, drug trafficking, corruption, or human rights violations.
