Reader informs about the Barquisimeto repression:
In Barquisimeto we have a lot of readers due to the support we have done for those who resist the attacks from the police and the army against the popular ghettos of the city. One of the readers communicates a letter which we published.
A reader from Lara
Greeting dear friends:
Barquisimeto is burning. Censorship imposes: just recently the local Lara's newspaper El Impulso and La Prensa have informed the magnitude of the brutal aggression made by the GNB(The Army). This Saturday(4/13/2013) Lara's State Judge, the lawyer Jose Rafael Guillen, had a meeting with the MUD(Democratic Table of Unity) representatives and that same day he got fired, position which is now occupied by an evangelic lawyer who has connections with the former oficialist Governor Reyes. His son, Luis Jonas, President of the Legislative Council, runs the armed groups of the PSUV(United Party of Venezuelan Socialist) and is the coauthor, together with the General Octavio Chacon, regional chief of the Core4 and their compadres; the terrible General Rodriguez Figeroa, the one attributed with the cowardly attacks on the Barquisimeto population. Moreover Cuban mercenaries send orders from SEBIN (a FBI kind of force) and wiretap hundred of regional leader phones . At night they go to find residencies that protest(those hitting the pot) and tape them.
The indignation is so intense that even religious sectors raised their voice in form of protest against those abuses and excesses. The Barquisimeto archbishop has complained strongly and only him was able to see some of the demonstrators who were arrested. One can not figure the real number of arrest due to lack of communication and also because they were sent to different commandos, personally, i think its about a hundred. moreover there are more than 40 injures and many of them gravely. The oppression is easily seen done by the Army (GNB) that moves in groups around all the city and hit any citizen or group that seem suspicious. Today 17 of the arrested were freed with measurements to comply every 15 days with them, but there's still a lot of demonstrators arrested.
In this moment we need all the support and solidarity anyone can give us in order to complain nationally and internationally the serious situation that our city holds.
Evangelical Pastors across the state announced a vigil that will be hold tomorrow at 9.00pm until 6.00am of the next day as a call for peace.
The violent political turmoil causes more violence in the streets: the daily average of homicides is 3 and weekends about 8 to 10 daily.
The National Guard(Army) should get the criminals instead they get the dissidents.
