"My heart is with the Venezuelan mothers whose children have been disappeared and who still await answers. The so-called Amnesty law ended with far too many cases unresolved. A democratic transition and reconciliation require accountability, justice and truth." -@SenatorShaheen

[Senate Foreign Relations Committee @SFRCdems]

Today, @SenatorShaheen and a bipartisan group of Senators released the below statement regarding Venezuela.

Today’s @ForeignPolicy LatAm Brief: the OAS is coming off a major success in democracy protection in 🇬🇹's election. Morale appears up after divisions of recent yrs. Could the body make a difference in case where democratic backsliding is more gradual, 🇵🇪?
