Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodriguez announced on Friday a push for mass amnesty in the country, saying she will propose a "general amnesty law covering the entire period of political violence from 1999 to the present." She also announced plans to close the notorious El Helicoide prison in Caracas, where rights groups say political prisoners were tortured by Nicolas Maduro's intelligence services.
