RE: Venezuela's Political Disaster - February 8, 2006

Dear Journalists,

It seems that Chavez gets away with everything that he wants. He has won all the previous elections even if there have been very questionable results and abuse of power. Today the news is that Chavez's prosecutors want to imprison democratic group Sumate for accepting US$54,000 from the United States.

At the same time, as we all have watched Chavez's allegedly supports financially several countries and groups as long as they hate the United States. So, Chavez is able to do as he pleases and places vicious sentences to those who oppose him. Isn't this against the law?

Attached below please find report about Sumate written by Alek Boyd:

Chavez has several political prisoners, are the representatives of Sumate to be added to this abuse of power? All your cooperation in reporting this situation will be greatly appreciated.

The following article written by Ambassador Adolfo Taylhardat published today gives a good description of the absurd situation in Venezuela.
