An amnesty law came into force in Venezuela and on Saturday around 80 political prisoners were released in Caracas, according to the president of the national parliament. The measure was adopted under pressure from the United States, following the American military capture of President Nicolás Maduro last month. The law has already given rise to more than 1,500 amnesty requests and is expected to lead to the release of new people detained for political reasons, although critics point out that it excludes certain categories of prisoners and question the real extent of its application.
