Opposition Protests on September 4 & 5

Dear Journalists,

Happy Labor Day Weekend!


Venezuelans citizens are protesting world wide on September 4 virtually online through Facebook,Twitter, youtube and physically in certain cities. So far, there were violent incidents reported in Brussels, Belgium where a group of non-Venezuelans attacked and harassed protestors:

There are marches scheduled for September 5 in Caracas to protest Chavez's abuse of power. The protests will be peaceful, and journalists are urged to cover the events. Chavez, as usual, may send police with riot gear, and the infamous tear gas against unarmed civilians.

Venezuelans need help to restore democracy, and stop Chavez's human rights abuses.

Cordially,
