CARACAS (Reuters) -Venezuela's National Assembly on Thursday unanimously voted to approve a law which could lead to bans on holding public office of up to 60 years for those who express support for the imposition of sanctions on the South American country.
The so-called Simon Bolivar Liberator law also includes measures to prosecute people in absentia, and represents the latest move by President Nicolas Maduro's government to tighten regulations on everything from non-governmental organizations to social media, following July's contested presidential election.
