Class action against Chavez for alleged acts of terrorism, violation of human rights

El Universal: Freedom Watch, a US non-governmental organization (NGO), announced on Thursday that it has formally notified the Venezuelan-run oil company CITGO about the class action filed against Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez for alleged acts of terrorism and violation of human rights.

Larry Klayman, founder and President of Freedom Watch, said that the Venezuelan government has 20 days to respond the lawsuit filed last April in a Miami court on behalf of the Venezuelan journalist Ricardo Guanipa who qualified for political asylum in the US since 2005.

The lawsuit was filed against Chavez, several government officials and against CITGO, a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United States of the state-owned oil company Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA).

Freedom Watch, a conservative political advocacy group dedicated to preserving civil liberties and human rights, had already announced in April that it is seeking a USD 5 billion compensation for punitive damages, Efe reported.

Our editorial statement reads:
VHeadline.com Venezuela is a wholly independent e-publication promoting democracy in its fullest expression and the inalienable right of all Venezuelans to self-determination and the pursuit of sovereign independence without interference. Our stance is decidedly pro-governance (defined as being contrary to anarchy) and pro-government to the extent that we support all and any government policies aimed at consolidating and improving the living conditions and future prosperity of ALL Venezuelans, regardless of race, color or creed. We also seek to shed an international spotlight on nefarious practices and corruption which, for decades, has strangled this South American nation's development and progress. In every respect VHeadline Venezuela's declared editorial bias is most definitely pro-Constitutional, pro-Democracy and pro-VENEZUELA.
