(San Pablo, 19 de septiembre de 2008) – La expulsión de dos directores de Human Rights Watch por parte del gobierno de Venezuela subraya la creciente intolerancia del gobierno de Chávez ante opiniones críticas, dijo Human Rights Watch hoy. El gobierno expulsó a José Miguel Vivanco, director de la división de las Américas de Human Rights Watch, y a Daniel Wilkinson, subdirector de la división, el 18 de septiembre de 2008, horas después de realizar una conferencia de prensa en Caracas para presentar un informe que describe cómo el gobierno del Presidente Hugo Chávez ha debilitado las instituciones democráticas y las garantías de derechos humanos en Venezuela.

(Sao Paulo, September 19, 2008) – The Venezuelan government’s expulsion of two Human Rights Watch staff underscores the Chávez administration’s increasing intolerance of dissenting views, Human Rights Watch said today. The government expelled José Miguel Vivanco, Americas director at Human Rights Watch, and Americas deputy director Daniel Wilkinson on September 18, 2008, hours after they held a news conference in Caracas to present a report that describes how the government of President Hugo Chávez has weakened democratic institutions and human rights guarantees in Venezuela.

PRESS RELEASE
| Hundreds of people have been brutally killed and more than 150,000 have fled their homes in remote parts of Katanga province in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Local residents of the area described to Human Rights Watch how they were trapped between the abuses of a local defense group called the Mai Mai on the one side and those of the Congolese army on the other. The killings and suffering were so widespread that residents called this region “the triangle of death.”In 2003 the Mai Mai launched an insurgency against Congo’s new transitional government and its army. Since that time they have murdered local chiefs, government officials, persons who registered to vote in upcoming elections, and people they accuse of sorcery, many of whom were killed in horrific public ceremonies. Some of the victims were cannibalized. In response to the insurgency, government troops rounded up hundreds of civilians, including women and children, whom they accused of being Mai Mai. They deliberately killed or tortured to death dozens of these people and raped many women.In this multimedia web special including photos, video, stories from the victims and legal analysis, Human Rights Watch documents the crimes committed by both sides and urges Congolese authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice. |
