Caracas, December 21 (PL-RHC)-- Non-governmental organizations backed on Sunday the Bolivarian Government in its position of rejecting the Amnesty Law proposed by the Venezuelan right-wing, which will soon be the new majority in the National Assembly.

Representatives of 68 organizations and rights movements, grouped in the Community Organizations for the Defense of Democracy and Human Rights, noted that an Amnesty Law would be a flagrant violation of the victims.

The president of the Latin American Foundation for Human Rights and Social Development (Fundalatin) and spokesperson of the organization, Maria Russián, expressed her opposition to any legislative initiative that promotes impunity.

Russián reported that the organizations signed a statement in exposing the harmful effects that the approval of any policy that threatens the search for justice and truth would have on Venezuelan society.

In this regard, he referred to the various developments that have occurred since 2002, in which the opposition political players attacked the institutionalizations and generated a high number of casualties and considerable damage to the nation.

The organizations reaffirmed that if an Amnesty Law is passed to protect those responsible for numerous murders and acts against people, it would negatively affect the nation.

They also asked the President of the Republic, Nicolas Maduro, to create a commission for Justice and Truth with the involvement of public authorities and victims, to study each of the cases of these violent acts.
