Venezuela's National Assembly reported that over 3,200 people have been fully released under a new amnesty law enacted last week. The amnesty, signed into law by interim President Delcy Rodriguez on February 20, 2026, aims to ease political tensions and promote reconciliation. According to lawmaker Jorge Arreaza, the commission overseeing the amnesty has received over 4,200 applications. Of those, over 3,000 individuals under house arrest or restrictive measures and 179 prisoners have been granted full freedom. The amnesty has faced criticism for excluding individuals prosecuted for actions against Venezuela's sovereignty, raising concerns about its application to political opponents.
