VENEZUELAN STUDENT ALERT: PLEASE REPOST THIS IN YOUR BLOGS


From Spanish Pundit:

This is an alert. Please, if you value freedom, repost this alert: Venezuelan Government has kidnapped the students inside the University. No one can enter or exit -from this link-:



A police barrier of the Military Police is forbidding the students of Universidad Católica Andrés Bello (UCAB) as they wanted to demosntrate in front of the National Parliament. The Military Police has said that the students should wait till a MPs Commission who will receive a document. In this moments there are more gruops of students who are getting to the area in support of the rest.
The students have announced they will demostrate today at 11 in the La India Sq. to march till the Parliament. Major Bernal has announed them they do not have any permission to do that, but they have answered they will concentrate themselves just the same in the pavements without having the traffic interrupted. Globovisión has informed jsut now that Chávez’s supporters have just now began to get to the place and they have even set up some tents, from where they want to call on others to defend the revolution. But the students have begun to march whatever the menaces and protests and the advices from the Major about being forbidden.


UDPATE: the students have desisted and had not march to the Parliament. From the link above. They have accepted the mediation of the Catholic Church in the conflict. The students of UCAB were released but had to pass through the police, after being informed they could not march without autorization from the Caracas’ Major. But the students insisted they were going to march to the Catholic Brishops’ Conference.
