2. Plenty of evidence with photos and videos showing abuses by pro-government and security forces

There's barely any, if not any at all, to implicate the nearly 3000 arrests of protesters. Once again you're only posting propaganda bullshit that doesn't talk about numbers or shows any kind of evidence to back up its claims, when there's plenty that show the abuse committed by those on the government's side, and plenty to shown the government's own ineptitude and corruption and their unwillingness to take any responsibility for the country's problems. Also you forget the "private media" is controlled or regulated by the government itself. The only outlet the opposition has now to spread its word is the internet. All TV channels, on the other hand, are controlled or regulated by CONATEL. Absolutely zero stations report anything about the protests. And very recently it was announced that CONATEL would be deciding what programs will be shown on cable as well. Obviously they're trying to shut down any channel that might talk negatively about the regime, in the best way that the Castro regime has done.
