CARACAS, Venezuela \u2014 Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodr\u00edguez on Friday announced an amnesty bill that could lead to the release of hundreds of prisoners, including opposition leaders, journalists and human rights activists detained for political reasons.<\/p>\n

The measure had long been sought by the United States-backed opposition. It is the latest concession Rodr\u00edguez has made since taking the reins of the country on Jan. 3 after the brazen seizure of then-President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro in a U.S. military attack in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas.<\/p>\n

Rodr\u00edguez told a gathering of justices, magistrates, ministers, military brass and other government leaders that the ruling party-controlled National Assembly would take up the bill with urgency.<\/p>\n

“May this law serve to heal the wounds left by the political confrontation fueled by violence and extremism,” she added in the pretaped televised event. “May it serve to redirect justice in our country, and may it serve to redirect coexistence among Venezuelans.”<\/p>\n
