Today, Venezuela has more than 100 political prisoners. The World Movement for Democracy is rallying individuals and organizations around the world to send a collective message to President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro - it is time to #SetThemFree!
The goal for this campaign is to reach at least 100 supporters (or individual social media profiles) by June 24. If the goal is reached by that date, the following message will be simultaneously blasted on 100+ social media profiles:
"I stand with #Venezuela political prisoners. Join me in telling #NicolásMaduro ─ its time to #SetThemFree! http://thndr.it/1cSvD9k
The Venezuelan people reacted to government repression and abuse when nearly a hundred thousand protesters marched on Saturday, June 6, in Caracas, Maracaibo, Valencia and Barquisimeto to pressure President Nicolás Maduro to hold congressional elections and free prisoners detained for political motives. The government response so far is more repression.
