Venezuelan interim president Delcy Rodríguez announced on Friday the introduction of a general amnesty law, marking her first major reform initiative since Nicolás Maduro was removed from power in a U.S.-led operation several weeks ago. Speaking at the Supreme Court in Caracas, Rodríguez said the proposed law would cover all incidents of political violence from 1999 to the present, aiming to heal political divisions, restore the justice system, and ensure good governance.

Rodríguez also declared the start of a national dialogue on judicial reform and the closure of the notorious El Helicoide prison, which human rights groups said had been used to torture political prisoners. The facility will be converted into a sports, cultural, and commercial center. Within four weeks of taking office, Rodríguez has moved quickly to introduce social and economic changes, including legislation opening Venezuela’s vital oil sector to private investment, leading the United States to lift sanctions on the industry.

The new administration’s reforms and release of political prisoners have been praised by U.S. President Donald Trump, and Washington is resuming diplomatic operations in Caracas, with diplomat Laura Doglu set to arrive as chargé d’affaires.
