NEWS FROM VENEZUELA: Prison interview: Jailed Venezuelan opposition leader warns world not to ignore abuses.

Related: Kevin Spacey on Venezuelan Freedom. “More than 1,400 students were arrested, there are more than 40 confirmed cases of torture and Leopoldo Lopez still sits in a Venezuelan military prison. He has urged the students to exercise their legal rights to peaceful protest and free speech and he repeatedly emphasized they must do so without violence. President Maduro has blamed Lopez for the violence that has beset the country and ordered his arrest on charges of murder, arson and terrorism. To date, the government has presented no evidence of the charges against him and their legal case is falling apart.” Yeah, not so sure the nonviolent thing shouldn’t have a sunset date. But perhaps I’m overly pessimistic.

Plus, I saw this at the Lakeside Tavern in Knoxville the other day.
