Venezuela Protest at FAU on Tuesday

West Boca News received a press release for a protest that will be held at FAU tomorrow, Tuesday February 18th.
Some highlights of the release are below in italics with our comments in regular text:

Today, February 17, 2014, a group of over 100 Venezuelan and non-Venezuelan nationals gathered at the intersection of Glades Road and SR-7/441 in Boca Raton, FL to protest the human rights violations that began on February 12, 2014 all across Venezuela, in light of peaceful protests nationwide.

For more on today’s protest see our article and photos: Venezuela demonstration in West Boca.

Throughout the country, protesters are being jailed and tortured unjustly and illegally. The Venezuelan people have taken to the streets to manifest their grievances, only to be shot and dispersed by the forces of the dictator, Nicolás Maduro.
We, as Venezuelans living outside of the country, feel that we must at least contribute our grain of sand to the cause of our fellow countrymen. Therefore, for the first time ever in Boca Raton, a protest was staged today.

West Boca News talked today with various students. One of them, Oriana Bottaro, is credited in the release with organizing today’s protest. She is a student at Spanish River High School and it’s not the first time she’s been in the news. The release came from Jorge Clavo, another Spanish River student and his mother Pilar Clavo.

Another protest will be carried out tomorrow, February 18, 2014 at the entrance of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton at 4 PM for the same cause. … A sincere thanks on behalf of the Venezuelan community of Boca Raton.
