The students will protest peacefully again on June 7 at Noon in Caracas for human rights including freedom of expression, for the release of the students jailed by Chavez, for freedom and against repression, and for Chavez's blocking of Radio Caracas Television (RCTV).

Reporters Without Borders (Reporters Sans Frontières) wrote the article Report of fact-finding trip to Venezuela : "Closure of Radio Caracas Televisión consolidates media hegemony" please click on links below:

Quote from U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice “In a democracy the citizens of a country should have the assurance that the policies of their government will be held up for criticism by a free and independent press without the interference of their government,”
