Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, has announced plans to close the notorious El Helicoide prison and convert it into a cultural center. Critics argue that this move seeks to erase the building's history as a site where political prisoners were tortured under the governments of Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro. Human rights activists believe the location should instead be turned into a memorial, similar to a museum in Argentina dedicated to victims of state violence. This proposal is part of several measures Rodriguez has promoted since Maduro's capture. However, activists are also speaking out against a proposed amnesty bill, claiming it lacks transparency and excludes many current prisoners.
