Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez has pardoned 31 people imprisoned for common crimes. The state-run Bolivarian news agency says the 31 prisoners who have displayed good conduct. Justice Minister Tarek El Aissami says the state will aid them in their return to society. He did not offer further details Friday. Chavez last year granted amnesty to more than 60 people, including some who had supported the interim government that briefly replaced him during a failed 2002 coup.
