Human Rights Violations in Venezuela?

Question

Need some sources that cite human rights violations in venezuela.

Answer 1

I was in Venezuela last  year and was surprised to find out that the Chavez government is not repressive. Many people openly critize the current administration and did not show any fear of doing so. I don't particularly like Chavez, but he, unlike many others, was elected by the Venezuelans...

Answer 2

The murder of 18 peaceful demonstrators shot by snipers from the Presidential palace would be pretty repressive, right?

The hundreds of extra-judicial assassinations in the provinces, as well?

Government funded Bolivarian Circles beating up people who try to organize against Chavez, too, No?

It is very bad there.  Very bad.
