Message to INFODIO readers: investigative journalism, which is what this site does, takes lots of time. Visiting media looking for a quick run down on Venezuela's gargantuan corruption, have the decency to at least cite the source when plagiarising this site's content without attribution (exhibit Reuters here and here, exhibit Bloomberg here, exhibit OCCRP here). To all readers, do the right thing, the honest thing: support independent investigative journalism, help us expose rampant corruption. Note added 28/06/2021: impostors are using INFODIO's former editor's full name, and a fake email address (alek.boyd.arregui at gmail.com) to send copyright infringement claims / take down requests to web hosting companies (exhibit Hostgator). The attempt is yet another effort paid by corrupt thugs to erase information about their criminal activities. Infodio.com has no issues with other websites / journalists using / posting information published here, so long as the source is properly cited.

Oslo Freedom Forum’s imagined community
In the presence of remarkable individuals, who were sharing with the Oslo Freedom Forum’s audience harrowing testimonies of survival, the resilience of human dignity and strength of character in conditions beyond hope, I was thinking: “what could I possibly say? What coherent thought could be added, after having heard a series of talks that left everyone pretty much speechless?”
Free Aung San Suu Kyi
We, the undersigned participants of the Oslo Freedom Forum,
categorically condemn the detention of Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu
Kyi. We condemn the unjustified charges raised against her by the
Burmese military dictatorship, which has imprisoned and charged her
with breaching the terms of her house arrest.
We call upon all people who believe in the dignity and rights of the
human person to support our urgent demand for the immediate release
of Aung San Suu Kyi and that all charges against her be dropped
immediately.
