In the report, authored by the Commission for Truth, Peace and Public Tranquility and published on Saturday, Rodriguez recommends that the people responsible for such acts of violence should be sentenced to community work.

"The commission has taken four months in the process of investigating the accused, and has interviewed detainees in order to contribute to justice, recognition of the victims and national reconciliation," she said.

In a bid to prevent further outbreaks of violence by the right, which seek to destabilize Venezuela, perpetrators should be made to compensate their victims, the report says.

"Community work is contemplated, with compensation formulas for the victim framed by the right to dignity that every citizen has," Rodriguez concluded, referring to the recommendations as "an instrument to reach peace."

The government body is recommending the release of more than 80 people who stand accused of committing right-wing violence.

"We understand, as Venezuelans, that only through national unity can we make possible the legacy of our liberators," Rodriguez writes. "There is no local or foreign power that can displace the peace we have built in Venezuela."

The report has now been sent to President Nicolas Maduro and judicial institutions across the country.

Talks between the Venezuelan government and opposition aimed at promoting peace and unity are set to resume in the Dominican Republic on January 11 and 12.
