Venezuela Passes 'Simon Bolivar Law' Criminalizing Support for Sanctions with Penalties up to 30 Years
Nov 28, 2024, 07:30 PM
The Venezuelan government, led by President Nicolas Maduro, has approved a controversial law that criminalizes support for international sanctions against the country. The legislation, referred to as the 'True Simon Bolivar Law,' was passed by the National Assembly and imposes penalties ranging from 25 to 60 years in prison for individuals who advocate for or support foreign sanctions. The law has been described as targeting opposition figures and codifying economic sanctions as crimes against humanity. Maduro has emphasized the importance of this law, calling it 'ineludible,' or unavoidable, in protecting Venezuela from foreign interference.
