"These arbitrary arrests for the simple reason of expressing opposing opinions prove that the regime has finally decided to criminalize dissident opposition" "While the Government of Chavez knits alliances with the enemies of freedom, these youths, for whom we declare our admiration and respect, join those who defend the values of pluralism, of healthy political dialogue and opening to the world"
