radio station Voice of the Amazon taken off the air for "hate and rebellion"

[Bacchus4.0]

28 years on the air. The Amazonas State has an opposition governor. The Venezuelan consttition states, "Toda persona tiene derecho a expresar libremente sus pensamientos, sus ideas u opiniones de viva voz, por escrito o mediante cualquier otra forma de expresión, y de hacer uso para ello de cualquier medio de comunicación y difusión, sin que pueda establecerse censura." "All persons have the right to express freely their thoughts, ideas and opinions aloud, by writing or whatever other medium of expression, and to use any form of communication and diffusion, without being censured."

1. With the Internet, I hope there are still ways to broadcast

2. Amazonas is largely Amerindian

I don't think many tribes living in the Amazonas region have access to the Internet. They are lucky if they have electricity and phone service. I've lived in places a bit more civilized and the local radio provided more than just news. But the Amazonas tribes have voted against the Chavistas for many years, and have had rebellions in the recent past against the Venezuelan army. So it's evident this is about government repression against the tribes and their leadership. I don't think we will see Maduro go to Amazonas and mix with the people, they will leave him looking like a pin cushion.

3. Thank you for bringing this to light, happy they have power

To defend themselves. Hoping they get their communication systems back up. Shame on the oppressors for suppressing their right to communicate. Right will win in end.
