Chairman Kerry Statement On The Venezuelan Government's Raid Of Globovision
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry (D-MA), released the following statement today in response to news reports on the raid of Globovision, Venezuela's only anti-government news network:
"The Venezuelan government's harassment of Globovision is deeply troubling. Last night's raid by intelligence agents of a home belonging to the station's president was a blatant effort to intimidate an independent news outlet solely for its willingness to report on matters inconvenient to President Chavez.
"President Chavez's public harangues against Globovision are bad enough; sending in agents to harass station management and employees is totally unacceptable. I urge President Chavez to respect all independent media and cease all harassment. If someone affiliated with the station has violated a law or regulation, as the Venezuelan government has insinuated, then law enforcement should pursue the matter professionally, democratically, and affording full due process."
