Dear Editor: Amnesty-Venezuela issues strong condemnation of Venezuelan government.

Senor Gomez, Amnesty International has done impressive work, in other parts of the world. However, I cannot seem to find your statements of condemnation against opposition (anti-government) forces in Venezuela.

Surely, you have issued such statements regarding:

• Deliberate sabotage, attempting to cripple the economy, and the entire country of Venezuela.
• Blatant threats against a residing President
• Manipulating media sources against a ruling government during a national lockout. (Isn't the lockout itself, illegal?)
• Continued attempts to undermine, and manipulate public opinion against their President, and their government.
• Decades of below-minimum wages paid to workers, which most assuredly has lead to continued poverty facing the country.
• Poverty, suffered by the majority of people in Venezuela for decades, but only NOW seems newsworthy.
• Lack of health care for the majority of people, again for decades, and again only NOW gaining media attention.

Of course, you condemn those forces the government must battle daily, while trying to improve conditions in Venezuela.

But, I would very much like to read your condemnation of those aforementioned acts and their perpetrators.

Could you direct me to THAT statement of condemnation?
