Chavez's caught abusing human rights

Update:

Chavez's police threw tear gas to marchers who were headed home inside the Metro in Caracas as reported on the link below. Witnesses who were inside the Metro station report that it was major havoc:

The following link reports Chavez's National Guard armed against pacific unarmed marchers protesting Chavez's new education laws. The main NG with microphone at hand talking politics supporting the infamous Hugo Chavez, and referring to journalists as clowns.

Dear Journalists,

As Reuters reports in article published on the Washington Post, Venezuelans are marching today. The same rules apply on the marchers where Chavez's allegedly paid supporters who have no education and only care for the free t-shirts are supporting Chavez's laws. Venezuelan opposition marchers are passionate about their ideals, and as I write this post some loved ones in the march feel threatened by tear gas. Many of them have been attacked by tear gas in the past.

The following link from Noticias 24 shows images of Chavez's police attacking the opposition in their right to march protesting their infamous new education laws:

World leaders currently doing business with Hugo Chavez must demand respect for human rights. Venezuelans need help to defend themselves from the abusive regime.

Beyond Political Disaster- August 18, 2009

Dear Journalists,

I have sent urgent calls for help many times in the past, and it seems by now that Hugo Chavez does as he pleases, and as always, with a total lack of consideration and respect for democracy, wellbeing and quality of life of Venezuelan citizens. Chavez could not care less about human rights. At this time, as you may have followed in the news Chavez has closed down 32 radio stations disregarding the suffering imposed to those who lost their jobs. The following links are currently circulating the Internet which explain what Chavez is doing against democracy totally mocking all rules of law:

Como ya todos sabrán, tenemos tres leyes nuevas y terribles.

La Ley Orgánica del Poder Electoral,

http://www.cne.gov.ve/documentos/ley_podele01.php.

La Ley Orgánica de Educación,


http://www.asambleanacional.gob.ve/index2.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_view&gid=1855&Itemid=124

La Ley de Tierras Urbanas

http://imagenes.globovision.com/archivos/124249_TIERRAS%20URBANAS.pdf

Venezuelans need urgent help from world leaders. Please remember that Chavez has forced his leadership to the nation by allegedly fraudulent means such as very questionable elections, and abuse of power. There must be an international law that allows other nations to get involved and restore democracy in Venezuela.

As you also may have witnessed Chavez is openly controlling other nations such as infamous Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and others. There are reports of major drug trafficking through Honduras during the Zelaya administration allegedly aided by Chavez.

Next link is to Ambassador Adolfo Taylhardat's opinion article ¿Verdad o mentira? where he summarizes well-documented evidences showing Chavez's involvement in illicit activity including assisting terrorists groups:

Pedro Mario Burelli Comment: CNN: U.S. report: Chavez moving to silence media

The comment below was written by Venezuelan Internationalist Pedro Mario Burelli:

http://pmbcomments.blogspot.com/

PMBComment: Attached to this email you will find the report CNN mentions below. There is a very good (open source) table in the report that documents the abusive use of government mandated simulcasts or "cadenas". I wonder how Chávez's apologists in the US (you know the Joe Kennedys, Sean Penns, Danny Glovers, and Mark Weisbrots types) would react if the White House opted to sequester the airways186 days in a year and do so for a bit over 175 hours total (these are the actual numbers for 2008 in Bolivarian Venezuela). The fact that it is done with no consent, warning or compensation, and mostly for vain reasons, should further prove the point of this report from the Open Source Center. In Venezuela, the government complains bitterly that there is a world wide conspiracy in the media against Mr. Chavez and his incompetent and corrupt regime. What they fail to mention is that those "99% of the editorials [that] are negative" cannot be all wrong, they are simply reporting the facts as they occur. While keeping abreast of troubling events in Venezuela is like drinking water from a fireman's hose, it is gratifying to see that people are paying attention to such absurdities as the last-minute-aborted Media Crimes Law and the recently, and hastily, enacted Education and Urban Land Laws. Some of the most offensive aspects of the media law made there way to the final (approved) draft of "the let's turn Venezuela into a communist society quickly" monstrosity opposed by most of the country.

Venezuela is now a bona fide dictatorship and it's government should receive the dressing down it sorely deserves. No more naive contemplations related to highly manipulated electoral victories. Let's not forget that the National Assembly - one institution that has never even pretended to act independently from the dictates of Mr. Chávez - was voted in by less than 17% of the total electorate. Only that the OAS saw no problem with this obvious lack of legitimacy, preferring to blame (as Mr. Insulza did again recently) the opposition for boycotting an election the electorate had already decided to ignore due to the many irregularities that preceded the vote.

Mr. Chávez and the band of crooks who surround him (and who BTW need him to stay in power in order to retain their ill-gotten riches) have no use for democratic processes. They risk much in a free and fair society, and are willing to promote chaos as a more attractive alternative to transparency, accountability and justice. We are in the early days of a new, no-holds-bar red descent into pre-violence and all out violence. The consequences of losing power are too great for these ruffians and they will drag the country and maybe it's neighbours into a futile, but painful, confrontation. In the days to come, the silence of the OAS, Chile and Mexico; the complicity of countries such as Brazil and Spain; the shortsighted self interest of Colombia and Russia, and the malignancy of Iran will all come to roost in one hell of a Latin meltdown.
