>> De overheid van Venezuela brengt mensenrechtenactivisten, waaronder
>> meerdere WRI-leden, in gevaar door o.a. hun reisgegevens te
>> publiceren. Het bestuur van de WRI heeft een verklaring uitgegeven
>> waarin wordt opgeroepen de activisten te steunen
>> (http://www.amnestyusa.org/get-involved/take-action-now/venezuela-investigate-monitoring-of-rafael-uzcategui-and-carlos-correa-ua-12315).
>>
>> War Resisters' International (WRI) is concerned for the safety of
>> its members and of their fellow human rights defenders in Venezuela.
>>
>> On 13 May the President of the National Assembly, Diosdado Cabello,
>> publicly shared details of the travel arrangements of WRI member
>> Rafael Uzcátegui from the Venezuelan Programa Venezolano de
>> Educación-Acción en Derechos Humanos (Program for Education and
>> Action on Human Rights - PROVEA), as well as those of Carlos Correa
>> from Espacio Público (Public Space). The information was shared in
>> Diosdado Cabello's weekly television show "Con el Mazo Dando". On
>> this programme the work of human rights defenders is regularly
>> questioned and details of their whereabouts are shared. The
>> president of Venezuela, Nicholas Maduro, has described NGO workers
>> who criticise the government as 'bandits', and called for the
>> production of a documentary to be broadcast on television exposing
>> the 'truth' about the work of human rights organisations.
>>
>> Among other details, on "Con el Mazo Dando" Diosdado Cabello
>> announced that Rafael Uzcátegui and Carlos Correa were travelling
>> to Chile to meet the former coordinator of PROVEA. This information
>> had only been shared in private online communications, so there is
>> cause to believe these communications are being monitored by the
>> authorities.
>>
>> Sharing such information puts Rafael, Carlos, and their friends and
>> colleagues at risk. It arms militant government sympathizers with
>> the information they would need to intimidate or attack them.
>>
>> Government officials targeting individual civilians in this way is
>> a cowardly tactic. It is an objectionable use of power - the
>> provocateurs have information and a means of spreading it quickly,
>> whilst at the same time being able to wash their hands of any
>> repercussions, because they did not directly order any assailants
>> to act. In fact, the blame for any harm that comes to Rafael,
>> Carlos and others that "Con el Mazo Dando" puts at risk should be
>> lain directly at their door.
>> WRI has a long track record of speaking out against all forms of
>> violence and injustice by different states, and acting in
>> solidarity with nonviolent activists all over the world.
>>
>> WRI know PROVEA to be an organisation consistently and thoroughly
>> investigating abuses of power. We have collaborated over some years
>> and PROVEA hosted a WRI delegation in 2013. Over time, we have
>> noted with sadness growing suspicion and intimidation towards human
>> rights groups, as well as the increasing militarisation of
>> Venezuela.
>>
>> This incident is the latest in a line of attempts to smear and
>> frighten human rights groups, including PROVEA.
>>
>> In 2013, WRI released a statement in support of PROVEA following a
>> verbal attack against them by the then minister for Communication
>> and Information Ernesto Villegas. Earlier this year, Rafael
>> Uzcátegui and Carlos Correa were part of a group of twelve human
>> rights defenders that were harassed and intimidated at the airport
>> in Caracas on their return from participating in hearings of the
>> Inter-American Commission of Human Rights. Days earlier, details of
>> their return flight have been shared on "Con el Mazo Dando".
>>
>> The campaign to delegitimise organisations independent of
>> government in Venezuela must stop. Personal attacks and breaches of
>> privacy violate human rights, are undemocratic and unjust.
>>
>> Those who expose human rights abuses - whoever perpetrates them -
>> are crucial for transparent and just communities. Nonviolent
>> societies are built on the back of freedom of speech and active
>> grassroots bodies who remind those in power that they derive their
>> authority from the consent of the people. PROVEA and Espacio
>> Público should be given space to carry out their work, and
>> government and other civic bodies should engage with the results of
>> their investigations.
>>
>> We urge those in sympathy with this statement to use Amnesty
>> International's Urgent Action alert to write to the Vice President,
>> Sr. Jorge Arreaza, Attorney General of the Republic Dra. Luisa
>> Ortega Díaz and Ombudsman Tarek William Saab. Find it here in
>> English

>> You can also send messages of solidarity to Rafael Uzcátegui and
>> Carlos Correa, through the WRI office. Send them care of
