June 1st, 2007 - Minor protests?




















Today was another very active day for the students in Venezuela. Marching in pretty much every single city in the country, peacefully and with hope. "We want change, we want freedom!"

Today over 15.000 students planned to March to the National Assembly, but the goverment didnt grant the march permission to march on the streets. We said FINE WELL MARCH ON THE SIDEWALK!. How did the goverment react?

Parking trucks and cops at the gates of the UCAB trapping the students inside the school.

Apparently only Chavistas are allowed to march to the National Assembly. All we wanted was to present a document.

According to Chavez, this are only "minor manifestations".
