Over 200 political prisoners in Venezuela, primarily at the Rodeo I prison, have launched a hunger strike demanding release under a new amnesty law that many argue excludes them.

• More than 214 inmates are participating in the hunger strike.
• The protest targets an amnesty law approved by Venezuela's congress, which excludes cases involving the military and terrorism.
• The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) visited the prison on Sunday, a move described as a "first step."
