Dear Journalists,
Venezuelan unarmed protesters including opposition leaders
in Caracas were brutally assaulted on May 29, 2017 by dozens of heavily armed
National Guards. Protesters were almost asphyxiated by tear gas, and then were
physically attacked. There were around 250 injured and some were badly hurt.
There are reports that Maduro has brought into Venezuela
hundreds of mercenaries from Cuba and other nations who attack and kill
protesters. The amount of protesters killed increased to sixty-two.There are hundreds of protesters detained and injured. Protesters are the
large majority of citizens demanding immediate presidential elections to restore
democracy. However, they are overpowered by corrupt law enforcement officials.Why are not international governments helping Venezuelans restore democracy? This is the
right time to help them!
Cordially,
Maru Angarita
