00:00Following the recent approval of the amnesty law, the Venezuelan government is processing more than 1,500 requests for their
00:09release of prisoners, which are being handled immediately and continuously.
00:15The President of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodriguez, reports that 1,557 requests have been received from prisoners and are
00:25being processed immediately for their prompt release.
00:29Also, the lifting of alternative measures to imprisonment, which were applied to 11,000 people, is being evaluated.
00:38These measures include court appearance and house arrest.
00:43In addition, Rodriguez recalled that the regulations also provide for the recognition and care of victims of political violence so
00:52that the mistakes of the past are not repeated.
01:04As of yesterday, we had 405 requests from people deprived of their freedom.
01:11Today, we have received an additional 1,152 requests for a total of 1,557, which are being processed immediately.
01:22And at this moment, hundreds of people deprived of their liberty are being released under the amnesty law.
01:30But we also have, and it is contemplated in the law, 11,000 people who received the justice system.
01:37Venezuela received alternative measures to the probation of liberty.
01:41That is, they were deprived of their liberty, but now they are under a regime of reporting or house arrest.
01:48And the law provides for these alternative measures to be lifted so that people can enjoy full freedom.
01:55In this regard, we are processing the request of more than 11,000 people who were under substitute regimes in
02:03the justice system's deprivation of liberty system.
02:06And those 11,000 people will be attended to by the amnesty law follow-up committee.
