| "Irrefutable Proof of the Existence of Political Prosecution in Venezuela" |
| 2005-09-18 |
| London 15.09.05 | The existence of systematic political prosecution in Venezuela, as established in article 7 of the Rome Statute, has been been argued for some time now. Apologists of Hugo Chavez maintain that it is nonsense, just another cry wolf allegation against the 'democratically elected' leader. Many people have complained about the existence of a list, compiled by chavista assemblyman Luis Tascon with a group of collaborators, that is widely utilised by government officials at all institutional levels to deny passports, contracts, IDs, employments, benefits, etc. The creation of said database was ordered by Hugo Chavez himself, who in a memo dated January 30th 2004... ...Researching a bit about this topic I was able to find, download the list via emule and install the software in my PC. It contains details of 12.394.109 citizens, that is to say Venezuela's entire electoral register up until July 6 2004. The images speak for themselves. The questions: what would happen should any of the leaders of the democratic nations of the world be caught ordering the construction of such database? What would happen to the electoral institutions of any European country and its officials should they be caught passing critical information with respect to the political tendencies of the electorate to politicians of a given ruling party? Then he has screenshots, two of which I link to below. A search result, with a single voter. And some other search criteria... I'd like to see comments from some of the computer database people here. |

| #1 As a IT Manager I got into many a discussion about our voting machines after 2000. Your first thought is efficency and the sheer in-efficency of our equipment. Then you start thinking about corruption and cheating. A can almost guarantee you this database was built using the new E-voting machines Venezuela used for the first time in 2004. One dept in charge of voting, one set of equipment, etc. The following article describes the new voting process and how it would obviously give the gov't and immediate database of who voted for who.
