Vancouver Venezuelan community rallies in support of protestors

Dozens of people rallied in front of Robson Square in solidarity with protestors in Venezuela.

Dozens of people rallied in front of downtown Vancouver’s Robson Square Saturday in solidarity with the hundreds of thousands taking to the streets in Venezuela.

“Students are not happy. They say they are going to keep in the streets until those students detained are released and until  we have free press, free media, freedom of speech. So the right to gather and protest should be in every country and every democracy. It’s not happening  in Venezuela” says one Vancouver demonstrator who is worried about family and friends back home.

In Vancouver, supporters of ‘Stand Up Venezuela’ say they want to show their opposition to the government’s violent response to recent nationwide demonstrations.

Today, Venezuela’s divide became more evident at mass rallies where protestors were either in support of socialist leader Nicolas Maduro or against him.

Maduro succeeded late leftist leader Hugo Chavez last year.

The protests began last week when students took to the streets on International Youth Day.

At least eight people have died and hundreds have been injured.

Canada Alarmed by Rising Violence in Venezuela

February 22, 2014 - Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird today issued the following statement:

“Canada is alarmed by the rising violence in Venezuela and increasing detentions, injuries and deaths during protests. Our deepest condolences go to the families of the victims.

“Peaceful protest is a fundamental right and a legitimate form of democratic expression. Today’s deaths are a needless tragedy. We urge restraint and attempts to calm, rather than fuel, the situation.

“Canada calls for the release of those detained and urges all parties to come together for peaceful dialogue. We also call for transparent investigations into all deaths and the reports of abuse by security forces.

“Open and meaningful dialogue between the Government of Venezuela and the opposition is crucial in the current polarized environment. Free access to information and communication is also a cornerstone of a healthy democracy.”
