Venezuela mulls amnesty for prisoners, to transform Helicoide into community center

TL;DR
Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodriguez announced a proposed amnesty law for hundreds of prisoners and said Helicoide, in Caracas, will be converted into a sports and social-services center, a move rights groups have long pressed for as authorities release detainees; the law would cover cases from 1999 to present but exclude killings or serious rights abuses, with ongoing questions over release numbers and who has actually been freed.
