Venezuela AG hopes amnesty law will led to "pacified country", insists prisoners committed crimes

Venezuela's attorney general Tarek Saab said on Wednesday he hopes an amnesty law being considered by the national assembly legislature will ensure a "100% pacified" country where the crimes included in the bill are never repeated, as he insisted that those in prison are not political detainees.
Interim President Delcy Rodriguez, who took power last month after the U.S. ouster of President Nicolas Maduro, has bowed to Trump administration demands on oil sales and released hundreds of who human rights groups class as political prisoners, as part of a normalization in relations between the two countries that has also included an ongoing visit by the U.S. energy secretary.
