Venezuela is on the brink of a significant political shift as the government, led by National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez, has set a deadline for the release of political prisoners. According to the Daily Times, Rodriguez promised families of the detainees that the prisoners would be freed by February 13, 2026, as part of an effort to 'correct past mistakes.' This move is tied to a proposed amnesty law, which is expected to receive final approval on February 10, as reported by Straitstimes. The law aims to grant clemency to individuals jailed for participating in political protests or criticizing public figures, potentially affecting hundreds of prisoners.
