Jorge Rodríguez announced that 300 people will be released this week in Venezuela, amid pressure from Trump and criticism from HRW and Foro Penal regarding the opaque implementation of the amnesty law.
What the fuck is their end goal? Do they think the USA will leave them alone if they comply? Because they won’t. Should’ve executed them before this happened
My recommendation is to read Venezuelan sources. Otherwise, you will be misled by anticommunist Gusano fiction writers like Cibercuba:
The Amnesty law is not new and it has been done with Chavez and Maduro as well. There are exceptions to it as well -> https://misionverdad.com/venezuela/ley-de-amnistia-y-nuevo-ciclo-de-la-politica-venezolana
According to Article 9, the crimes of intentional homicide or very serious injuries, human rights violations and crimes against humanity, drug trafficking and narcotics and crimes listed in the Law against Corruption are clearly excluded.
It also refers to those who “are or may be prosecuted or convicted for promoting, instigating, soliciting, invoking, favoring, facilitating, financing or participating in armed or forceful actions against the people, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, by foreign States, corporations or persons.”
Holy enlightenment, if there is a god im asking it to bless you rn. Jokes aside, i appreciate your insight in Latin-America sooo much.
The fundamental error was taking the western aligned media’s framing of the imprisoned as “political prisoners” for granted. There are no political prisoners in Venezuela. There are prisoners who committed crimes against the Venezuelan law. Certain crimes are eligible for amnesty, others are not. Simple as that.
I didnt mean it as in this only post. I have seen rainpizza providing really valuable insight in pretty much every news post about Latin-America. And its extremely appreciated.
100% agree
Glad that I am able to help as much as Lemmygrad has helped me.
Once again, thank you for your insight, comrade.
Thank you for this. Had no idea about this source
Should have dealt with them when they had the chance…
