A Decade Under Chavez

Venezuela expels Human Rights Watch activists last night, after they expose ‘A Decade Under Chavez’ report. “Our expulsion reveals yet again the degree of intolerance of this government,” said Mr. Vivanco.

"Ten years ago, Chávez promoted a new constitution that could have significantly improved human rights in Venezuela. But rather than advancing rights protections, his government has since moved in the opposite direction, sacrificing basic guarantees in pursuit of its own political agenda. "

-- José Miguel Vivanco, Americas director at Human Rights Watch
