VII. Inter-American Human Rights Court Says Venezuela Did Not Violate TV Station's Free Speech
The Inter-American Court of Human Rights announced its ruling last week that the Venezuelan government did not violate the right to freedom of expression, equality, or private property of the private television stations, RCTV and Globovisión. However, the court did decide that the Venezuela government should do more to prevent and punish acts of intimidation against journalists by third parties. RCTV and Globovision had brought the case against the Venezuela government to the court. Both private TV channels openly identify with Venezuela's opposition to the government of President Hugo Chávez. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights is an autonomous institution of the Organization of American States that is in charge of applying and interpreting the American Convention on Human Rights. http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/news/4268
