This Thursday, October 29, the President
of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez, reported that almost 9,000 people have
benefited from the Amnesty Law, highlighting that more than a thousand citizens have
been released through the application of this rule and the review of
other cases not covered by it.
“In February, the National Assembly (AN) unanimously approved the Amnesty Law that I proposed to
the country. To date, almost 9,000 people have benefited from
this initiative, ending criminal proceedings resulting from the confrontation
in which we were mired,” said the president during her message to the Venezuelan people this Thursday.
He also recalled that a national
consultation for criminal justice reform is under way, with the purpose of
collecting proposals to improve the judicial system. “It seeks to listen
to everyone and everyone to build a more just, humane, transparent and
impartial justice, which leaves behind corruption, procedural delay and the criminalization
of poverty,” he said.
At the same time, he specified that this consultation
has technical assistance from the European Union and that the
collaboration of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
was also requested
