Even bloggers suffer government harassment in Venezuela

Citing a “handful of sources,” the NGO Article XIX adds the case of blogger Alexis Marrero to the increasing attacks on the press by the government of President Hugo Chávez. A warrant for his arrest was issued at the end of July, though he has yet to be taken into custody.

At the beginning of the year, Marrero was summoned to the attorney general’s office, where he learned that there was a criminal investigation against him, supposedly for a blog post in which he declared: “Stop the misery. Death to the traitor. Death to Hugo Chávez.”
