All in all, this week has been a good week for prohibiting and dissuading kidnapping. As Cheerful Scoop noted earlier, Mexico just formed an anti-kidnapping squad. Kidnappers be wary.

Venezuela Passes New Kidnapping Law
In more kidnapping news, Venezuela's national assembly took action against kidnapping and passed a law that addressed abduction. Up to this point the country hasn't had a specific law that deals with kidnapping. Now, if someone is convicted of kidnapping they could face up to 30 years in jail. Even thought kidnapping rates are down this year, the government felt a law was needed to address guerilla warfare abductions that have plagued the country.

It's about time they passed a law like this.
tank you shard
lots of anti-kidnapping reform going on. can't help but love that.
"Gorilla warfare"? I didn't think they had gorillas in Venezuela... No worries, we know you meant "guerilla". Great idea for a blog, by the way. We DO need more good news and I like when little stories are compiled into a collection like this. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
It's hard to believe this country has had a major problem like this for so long and only now realize they need a law to help prevent kidnapping. Although, considering it is guerilla warfare, how much can a law really affect what the rebels are doing? Obviously there is not a lot of respect for the laws period.
That's quite an important law to have in place.
it is always rereshing to come here. keep up the good work.
drop by sometime if you can.
