Font size

Il presidente del Parlamento venezuelano, Jorge Rodríguez, ha annunciato la liberazione di 300 detenuti politici entro la fine della settimana, definendo la misura un "gesto" del governo senza contropartite internazionali. L'annuncio è stato fatto oggi durante una sessione parlamentare a Caracas trasmessa dalla televisione di Stato Vtv.

Secondo Rodríguez, tra i beneficiari figurano anziani, minorenni, donne in gravidanza o in allattamento e detenuti con problemi di salute. Il dirigente chavista ha precisato che le scarcerazioni non rientrano nella legge di amnistia approvata nei mesi scorsi, ma in misure umanitarie e benefici processuali.

Tra i casi citati vi sono alcuni agenti della Polizia Metropolitana arrestati per i fatti dell'aprile 2002, durante il fallito golpe contro Hugo Chávez. Rodríguez ha inoltre confermato la scarcerazione della sedicenne Samantha Hernández e di Merys Torres, madre del capitano Antonio Sequea. "Non stiamo chiedendo nulla a nessuno, vogliamo soltanto che questo gesto venga apprezzato", ha dichiarato Rodríguez.
