CARACAS: Venezuelan authorities granted amnesty to 379 political prisoners, a lawmaker overseeing the process said on Friday, after a new mass amnesty law was enacted following the ouster of former leader Nicolas Maduro. Venezuela’s National Assembly unanimously adopted the law on Thursday, providing hope that hundreds of political prisoners behind bars may soon be released.

According to the NGO Foro Penal, although the Caracas government has already released 450 political prisoners under pressure from the US, more than 600 remain behind bars.

More than 600 people may be in custody for political reasons, one Venezuelan rights group estimates.

Juan Pablo Guanipa announces that he has been freed after "almost nine months" of imprisonment.
