Venezuela's new assembly creates 'truth commission'

Venezuela's Constituent Assembly has passed a law creating a "Truth Commission".

The Head of the Assembly said the law is a "powerful instrument to stifle violence, hatred and intolerance". 

More than 120 people have been killed in violence since anti-government protests began sweeping through the country on the first of April.
 
The government blames right-wing terrorists but the UN suggests dozens were killed by the security forces.

The law was passed unanimously by the Constituent Assembly, a body convened by President Nicolás Maduro.
