"HRW is an ideological tool of the opposition"
After the presentation of the Human Rights Watch (HRW) annual report on Monday where the NGO labeled as "precarious" human rights... which are not the same thing as individual rights, mind you... situation in Venezuela, pro-government deputy Jesús Faría (United Socialist Party of Venezuela, PSUV), replied that the organization is trying to "build a case" to state that Venezuela is "a rogue state" and present a negative image of the country abroad. "Human Rights Watch has become an international spokesperson of Venezuela's opposition; it is an ideological tool of imperialism," Farías said in an interview with the state-run TV network VTV. In addition, "we are characterized as drug pushers, terrorists, in order to present an entirely negative image of the country," Farías said. Posted by: Fred 2011-01-27 |
