The move is in line with a new law, giving hope to throngs of others jailed over alleged plots to oust the government. Venezuelan authorities have granted amnesty to 379 political prisoners, according to a lawmaker, after a new law was enacted by interim authorities following the United States' abduction of President Nicolas Maduro. Venezuela's National Assembly unanimously adopted the law on Thursday, providing hope that hundreds of political prisoners may soon be released.
