Venezuela has its own "women in white": wives, daughters, mothers of political prisonres,and they admit having their Cuban counterparts in mind, but nobody pays any attention to the Venezuelan ones. Venezuela also has "women in black" who protest street violence which claims around 14,000 lives every year. 14,000 each year in a population of 26 million... 140,000 in the 10 years of Chavez' tenure, it's like a war.
