VENEZUELA’S opposition-controlled parliament has passed a new law to free anti-government terrorists and other criminals.
The so-called Amnesty Law, passed on Tuesday night, would pardon a wide range of crimes committed between January 1 1999 — a month before the late president Hugo Chavez’s first election victory — and the present.
United Socialist Party (PSUV) President Nicolas Maduro condemned the legislation from the Democratic Unity Roundtable (Mud) alliance and vowed to veto it.
