After Maduro's arrest, Venezuela's president closes notorious El

Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, announced on Friday the declaration of a general amnesty and the closure of the notorious El Helicoide detention center, less than a month after the US military operation that led to the capture of President Nicolas Maduro.

Speaking before the Supreme Court (TSJ), Rodríguez declared that the government will present to parliament an amnesty law covering the entire period of political violence from 1999 to the present. According to her, the law aims to “heal the wounds of political conflict” and restore national coexistence.

She also confirmed that El Helicoide prison, described by the opposition and human rights organizations as a torture center for political prisoners, will be closed and transformed into a social, cultural and sports center.

Venezuelan authorities claim that more than 800 political prisoners have been released, while the non-governmental organization Foro Penal disputes this figure, reporting only 383 releases and about 711 prisoners still remaining in the country's cells. The announcement was met with hope by the families of the detainees, many of whom have set up camps outside the prisons. 

However, Foro Penal warned that amnesty should not lead to impunity and that it cannot include serious human rights violations or crimes against humanity.
