Did you ever consider that maybe what we are saying about Bolivia is true? That we are actually being PERSECUTED for our beliefs in Bolivia?
I noticed you registered as being from Stuttgart, Germany when you are actually in Venezuela.
So what have YOU got to hide?

Venezuela gets dangerous for journalists, says press watchdog

MADRID • A US-based press freedom group said yesterday that it is becoming increasingly more dangerous for independent journalists in Venezuela to do their jobs as President Hugo Chavez seeks to silence critics of his leftist government.
Speaking at the Inter American Press Association’s annual assembly, David Natera, the editor of regional Venezuelan paper Correo del Caroni, said journalists have faced “unprecedented violence, insecurity and impunity” since Chavez came to power a decade ago.
“The work of independent media and journalists is becoming ever more difficult and dangerous,” Natera said as he presented a report by the association on press freedom in the Latin American country at the assembly.
Chavez has sought to set up a “communications hegemony” by using public money to control the majority of the means of mass communication which he has used to “impose ideological and proselytizing contents”, he added.
The report on press freedoms in Venezuela, as well as those on other nations, will be approved later this week at the body’s general assembly in Madrid which wraps up on Tuesday.
Since coming to power in 1999, Chavez has introduced laws that allow the government to close media outlets that violate strict broadcasting norms and reforms increasing prison sentences for libel and slander.
Several high-profile journalists have faced criminal charges for offences ranging from libel to homicide in what they have said are trumped-up charges aimed at silencing criticism of the government.
