周五，委内瑞拉代总统宣布一项特赦法案，该国数百名政治犯（包括反对党领袖、记者和人权活动人士）可能很快获释。
这一举措是自1月3日美国逮捕该国前领导人尼古拉斯·马杜罗以来，代总统德尔西·罗德里格斯采取的最新让步措施。
据美联社报道，罗德里格斯向一群法官、治安官、部长、军方高层和其他政府领导人表示，由执政党控制的国民议会将迅速审议该法案。
“愿这项法律有助于治愈因暴力和极端主义引发的政治对抗留下的创伤，”她在预先录制的电视讲话中表示，”愿它能重塑我国的司法公正，愿它能重塑委内瑞拉人民之间的共存关系。”

据美联社报道，罗德里格斯称特赦法将涵盖”1999年至今的整个政治暴力时期”，但因谋杀、贩毒、腐败或侵犯人权被监禁的人将不获赦免。
除特赦法案外，罗德里格斯还宣布关闭位于加拉加斯的臭名昭著的埃尔螺旋监狱。据报道，埃尔螺旋监狱长期存在酷刑和其他侵犯人权行为，该设施将被改造成体育、社会和文化中心。
委内瑞拉领先的囚犯权利组织”法罗监狱组织”负责人阿尔弗雷多·罗梅罗对这项立法表示欢迎，但也表达了一些怀疑。
“只要大赦的内容和条件包括所有公民社会成员，不歧视任何人，不成为庇护罪行的保护伞，并有助于拆除政治迫害的镇压机器，大赦总是受欢迎的，”罗梅罗在社交平台X上发文称。

反对党领袖、诺贝尔和平奖得主玛丽亚·科里娜·马查多在一份声明中表示，这些举措并非”自愿做出，而是对美国政府压力的回应”。她还指出，因政治活动被拘留的人关押时间从一个月到23年不等。
法罗监狱组织估计，委内瑞拉有711名政治犯，其中183人已被判刑。该机构指出，2024年选举后被拘留的反对党重要成员包括前议员弗雷迪·苏佩拉诺、马查多的律师帕金斯·罗查，以及前州长胡安·帕布罗·瓜尼帕（马查多最亲密的盟友之一）。

Hundreds of political prisoners in Venezuela could be released under new amnesty bill
Acting President Delcy Rodríguez also ordered the closure of the notorious El Helicoide prison

Hundreds of political prisoners in Venezuela, including opposition leaders, journalists and human rights activists, could soon be freed under an amnesty bill that the country’s acting president announced on Friday.
The move represents the latest concession Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez has made since the Jan. 3 capture of the country’s former leader Nicolás Maduro by the U.S.
Rodriguez told a group of justices, magistrates, ministers, military brass and other government leaders that the National Assembly, which is controlled by the ruling party, would promptly take up the bill, The Associated Press reported.
“May this law serve to heal the wounds left by the political confrontation fueled by violence and extremism,” she said in the pre-taped televised event, according to the AP. “May it serve to redirect justice in our country, and may it serve to redirect coexistence among Venezuelans.”

Rodriguez said the amnesty law would cover the “entire period of political violence from 1999 to the present,” and that those incarcerated for murder, drug trafficking, corruption or human rights violations would not qualify for relief, the AP reported.
In addition to the amnesty law, Rodriguez announced the shutdown of Venezuela’s notorious El Helicoide prison in Caracas. Torture and other human rights abuses have been repeatedly documented at El Helicoide. The facility is set to be transformed into sports, social and cultural center, according to reports.
Alfredo Romero, the head of Foro Penal, Venezuela’s leading prisoner rights organization, welcomed the legislation while expressing some skepticism.
“A General Amnesty is always welcome as long as its elements and conditions include all of civil society, without discrimination, that it does not become a blanket of impunity, and that it contributes to the dismantling of the repressive apparatus of political persecution,” Romero said in a post on X.

Relatives of some prisoners livestreamed Rodríguez’s speech on a phone as they gathered outside Helicoide, according to the AP.
Opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado said in a statement that the moves were not made “voluntarily, but rather in response to pressure from the US government,” the AP reported. She also reportedly noted that people detained for their political activities have been held for anywhere between a month and 23 years.
Foro Penal estimates there are 711 political prisoners held in Venezuela, 183 of whom have been sentenced, the AP reported. The outlet identified prominent members of the opposition who were detained after the 2024 election and remain in prison as former lawmaker Freddy Superlano, Machado’s lawyer Perkins Rocha, and Juan Pablo Guanipa, a former governor and one of Machado’s closest allies.

On Friday evening, Venezuela released all known American citizens being held in the country.
“We are pleased to confirm the release by the interim authorities of all known U.S. citizens held in Venezuela,” the U.S. embassy wrote on X. “Should you have information regarding any other U.S. citizens still detained, please contact American Citizen Services.”
