'US hands off Venezuela!'

Saturday, November 17, 2007 - 11:00

Supporters of the Australia-Venezuela Solidarity Network (AVSN) gathered in Brisbane Square on November 16 to provide information to passers-by about December's constitutional referendum in Venezuela, and to demand, "US hands of Venezuela!"

Speakers explained the development of the people's revolution that is sweeping Venezuela under the leadership of socialist President Hugo Chavez. They explained how Chavez's proposed constitutional reforms would deepen popular democracy.

A public meeting with Venezuelan charge d'affaires Nelson Davila has been on November 30, as well a rally to defend Venezuela on December 1.
