The Venezuelan National Assembly passed the Simon Bolivar Liberator law, banning officials who support US sanctions from holding office for up to 60 years, intensifying political repression.
The law imposes strict penalties for supporting US sanctions, stipulating imprisonment for 25 to 30 years, and allows media outlets that promote sanctions to be shut down.
President Maduro's government is aggressively targeting the political opposition, who claim to have convincingly won the recent presidential elections, amidst a backdrop of increasing dissent.
This latest legislative measure follows the US House of Representatives passing the Bolivar Act, which aims to isolate the Maduro government from any US governmental support.
