Venezuela's Maduro Sets Up "Truth Commission"
 Venezuela's controversial constituent assembly has passed a law creating a "truth commission".The head of the assembly said the law was a "powerful instrument to stifle violence, hatred and intolerance". More than 120 people have been killed in the violence since anti-government protests began sweeping through the country on 1 April. The government blames right-wing "terrorists" but the UN suggests dozens were killed by the security forces. The law was passed unanimously by the constituent assembly, a body convened by President Nicolás Maduro. Posted by: Spike Spomoter7482 2017-08-12 |
