At least 17 political prisoners regained their freedom in Venezuela, within the framework of the Amnesty process, as announced by the president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez. Rodríguez detailed that the inmates were held at the detention center known as Zone 7 and stated: 'The objective is to continue this path of peace for democratic construction among brothers.' The releases come as lawmakers prepare to debate the bill called the Amnesty Law for Democratic Coexistence and Peace, according to the Xinhua news agency. Around 900 people have benefited from this measure, more than a month after dictator Nicolás Maduro.
