Chavez Decries IACHR, UN
CARACAS - President Hugo Chavez denounced
recent statements from the Organization of
American States Inter-American Commission on
Human Rights (OAS-IACHR), the UN and the
opposition for what they consider government
attacks on freedom of speech.
In a TV broadcast from Lara, President
Chavez snubbed statement by the OAS branch
for Freedom of the Press Special Rapporteur
Catalina Botero, who claimed that "Venezuela
is reaching intolerable limits" on the
matter, a copycat of Frank La Rue, UN
Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression,
who on World Press Freedom Day (May 3,2010)
urged to annul a capture warrant against
outlaws owner of Globovision TV network
Guillermo Zuloaga Nunez and his son
Guillermo Zuloaga Siso, president of
Toyoclub Venezuela.
President Chavez called a cynicism the calls
to exonerate these people, whom he described
as thieves, coup mongers and assassins. |
