Ombudsman's Office Opens First School of Human Rights in Venezuela

By VENEZUELAN OMBUDSMAN PRESS OFFICE

The first School of Human Rights in Venezuela opened its doors on Saturday in Caracas to complement the academic training and research of various professionals in the field of promotion and defense of human rights with a critical and progressive approach.

...Ombudsman Gabriela del Mar Ramírez said the initiative is aimed at strengthening the academic training of the general public through an initial offering of free professional courses.

Meanwhile, the Jesuits (and the CIA) are having Alvaro Uribe instruct the students at Georgetown in the fine arts of hacking dissidents to death and throwing their body parts into mass graves, murdering innocent young men and dressing their bodies up like FARC guerrillas, to impress U.S. senators with 'body counts' and get more billions of U.S. 'war on drugs' booty, disappearing trade unionists and human rights workers, displacing 5 million peasant farmers and stealing their lands, and spying on judges, prosecutors, political opponents and others, to create hit lists...oh, excuse me...having Alvaro Uribe instruct them in "international law." ("International law" is how you do all this without remorse.) (The Jesuits ran the Inquisition at one time, too.)

1. Interesting move
On the other hand, it would be better if the ombudsman had the power to act in the Afiuni case, as well as the numerous violations taking place in Venezuela, which are not even investigated. As Venezuela migrates towards a more and more repressive autocracy, these cosmetic moves are a means to impress the innocent "progressives" who sit outside and don't understand the regime they support will slowly destroy the country formally known as Venezuela.

And for those who wish to debate the issue, I'd like to point out that Venezuela's ruler - elected, but nevertheless an autocrat and a man whose arrogance is ascending heights seldom seen in this world - has just finished a tour of the Eastern Hemisphere, a tour which focused on establishing closer alliances with a large group of unsavory autocrats and dictators, such as the autocrats and faux presidents who rule countries such as Belarus, Iran, Syria, and their ilk.

And meanwhile, as he savours his newly printed Economics Doctorate awarded by Muammar Kaddafi, the Venezuelan economy continues to enjoy record inflation AND a negative GDP, higher unemployment, higher government debt, and a crime wave and government corruption the likes of which the country of Venezuela has never seen.
