The recent attempt by United States mercenaries to land in Venezuela and overthrow President Nicolas Maduro – Operation Gideon – may be “straight out of Hollywood” but it would be a mistake to assume the director and producers of this failed plot were working on their own.

    INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS RESOLUTION 24/2020 Precautionary Measure No. 496-20 Leonardo David Chirinos regarding the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela June 9, 2020 Original: Spanish I. INTRODUCTION 1. On May 28, 2020, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (“the Inter-American Commission,” “the Commission,” or “the IACHR”) received a request for precautionary measures filed by Alfredo Romero, Gonzalo Himiob and Julio Henríquez from the organization “Foro Penal” (“the applicants”), urging the Commission to request that the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (“the State” or “Venezuela”) protect the rights of Leonardo David Chirinos Parra (“the proposed beneficiary”), who was reportedly deprived of his liberty in April 2020 by state actors, and who was allegedly subject to torture. According to the request, his whereabouts or location to date are unknown. 2. The IACHR requested information on May 29, 2020, in accordance with Articles 25.5 of its Rules of Procedure and XIII of the Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappearance of Persons. To date, no response has been received from the State. 3. Upon analyzing the submissions of fact and law provided by the applicants, the Commission considers, from the applicable prima facie standard, that Mr. Leonardo David Chirinos Parra is in a serious and urgent situation, given that his rights to life and personal integrity are at risk of irreparable harm. Consequently, the Commission requests that the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela: a) adopt the necessary measures to protect

  • Spy Drama, Foiled Venezuela Coup
    Woman with Florida ties tangled up in spy-vs.-spy drama, foiled Venezuela coup BY ANTONIO MARÍA DELGADO, KEVIN G. HALL, AND SHIRSHO DASGUPTA ​ ​ ​ ​ DECEMBER 14, 2020 08:30 AM, UPDATED DECEMBER 18, 2020 02:48 PM URL: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/article247781875.html ​ The Maduro regime in Venezuela wants her extradited to face justice for a failed coup hatched in South Florida. The Colombian government accuses her of being in cahoots with narcoterrorists and her family describes Yacsy Alexandra Álvarez Mirabel as a nerdy marketing specialist caught up in events much larger than she ever could have imagined. Álvarez is a mysterious, little-known player in the coup attempt, led by former U.S. special operations soldier Jordan Goudreau and his Florida security company Silvercorp USA, that sought to topple Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro. Confounding details of the escapade are just now trickling out, months after it failed, leaving two ex-U.S. soldiers captured and jailed in Venezuela. Álvarez, who owned a modest condo in ​ ​ Tampa and incorporated a company there in April 2017, gave an exclusive telephone interview from her jail in Colombia, proclaiming her innocence. “I am not a terrorist. I don’t have anything to do with weapons, nor with military people. I am a humanist. I believe in human beings. I believe very much in God,” she said. In video messages made months before her arrest in Colombia and obtained exclusively by the Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald and their parent McClatchy, Álvarez insisted the Colombian government knew of the planned May coup, known as Operation Gideon.

    ‘News of the World’ features excellent cast, great cinematography Written by By Glenn Kay For the Sun Thursday, 31 December 2020 07:21 Rating: ««« out of «««« Running Time: 118 minutes This feature from Universal Pictures opens Dec. 25 at operating cinemas. It will also be available for streaming on demand Jan. 15. While 2020 has been a quiet year for many of us, that certainly hasn’t been the case for Tom Hanks. In addition to some personal events that wound up garnering media attention, he recently wrote and starred in the submarine thriller, Greyhound. And to close out the season, the performer has taken on the lead role in News of the World , a new western from director Paul Greengrass ( Captain Phillips , Jason Bourne , 22 July ). The movie may feel a bit old-fashioned and measured in some respects, but it is a well-acted and beautifully shot feature that displays some scenic natural locations.

Benni has one single goal: to be back at home with her mommy! Unfortunately, her mother is scared of her own daughter.
