MIAMI — A nonprofit group has sued Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez for alleged acts of terrorism and human rights violations, including conspiring with Colombian guerrillas, al-Qaida and the Taliban.
Freedom Watch, which advocates for ethics in government, filed the lawsuit Wednesday in Miami federal court on behalf of Venezuelan journalist Ricardo Guanipa. According to the filing, Guanipa worked for Radio Marti in Venezuela and received death threats after investigating government corruption. Radio Marti is the U.S. government’s broadcast to Cuba, with the stated goal of providing an alternative to the communist island’s government-run media.
Guanipa fled Venezuela and received political asylum in the U.S. in 2005. He now lives in Miami. Freedom Watch is seeking class action status for the case in order to include other individuals whom it alleges were also forced to flee Venezuela
Whereas Hugo Chavez is alleged to be in violation of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, who arrests him?
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,
Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,
If he did get arrested I am sure that "Barry" would be there to hold his hand.
That guy isn’t worth the powder it would take to blow him away.
