Description: NEW YORK -- In an effort to better communicate the pressing issues of human rights in Venezuela, the Human Rights Foundation (HRF) released a 4-minute video today on YouTube. The video effectively conveys the troubling situation faced by every citizen of Venezuela who values individual rights and democracy. The Caracas Nine program humanizes the current struggle against political persecution while providing an opportunity to assist survivors of human rights abuses. The nine cases are by no means an exhaustive number, but they are emblematic of the current political and social climate in Venezuela. We invite you to watch this video and forward it to your friends. A focus of the effort is to free Francisco Usón, a former cabinet secretary sentenced to five and a half years in prison for expressing concern about human rights abuses. Find out what you can do for the Caracas Nine by visiting: www.CaracasNine.com. UPDATE: Francisco Usón was freed on conditional release on December 24, 2007. Read more at www.CaracasNine.com.
