VENEZUELAN GOVERNMENT DELIBERATELY TARGETING OPPONENTS
Advertisements [?]
<snip>

Amnesty International urged the Venezuelan authorities to stop targeting government critics following a series of politically motivated arrests.

At least three individuals seen as opposed to President Hugo Chávez were arrested and charged in March alone.

"Charges brought for political reasons against critics are being used to silence dissent and prevent others from speaking out," said Guadalupe Marengo, Americas Deputy Director at Amnesty International.

"President Chavez must stop persecuting those who think differently or speak out against his government."
