Canadians Call for Protest of the Censoring of Documentary About Venezuela

Several Canadian groups are organizing an information picket this Friday outside the Pacific Cinematheque where the local Amnesty International film festival is taking place.

Last week, the Canadian Pacific Region Chapter of Amnesty International decided to exclude the award-winning documentary The Revolution Will Not Be Televised from their Film Festival that is being held at the Pacific Cinematheque in Vancouver, Canada, from November 6-9, 2003.

The documentary exposes the atrocious Human Rights violations committed during the April 2002 coup d'etat against President Hugo Chavez, and during the short dictatorship that followed.

The film was originally scheduled to be shown, but it was cancelled after right-wing Venezuelan opposition groups seeking to hide the atrocities committed by the short dictatorial government that overthrew Chavez, launched a campaign of emails and phone calls to pressure the Canadian Pacific Region Chapter of Amnesty International to not show the documentary.

1. The right wing in every country is so vicious that it can get media

to back down all over the world. This demonstrates their control and the evil that everyone know they are capable of perpertrate on the rest of us.

"We will fucking nuke you!" Fear is their greatest weapon!
