The Venezuelan president presented the initiative on Friday during the opening ceremony of the judicial year at the Supreme Court. Delcy Rodríguez instructed the Judicial Revolution Commission to prepare the legal text in the coming hours for a vote in the National Assembly.
The law would not include those convicted of murder, drug trafficking or human rights violations. Rodríguez also asked that "vengeance, revenge and hatred" should not prevail among those who regain their freedom.
