Venezuelan court seizes newspaper office in defamation case
Venezuela s Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ) last month issued the award, which stems from a 2015 lawsuit Cabello - a lawmaker and vice president of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela - filed against El Nacional after it reprinted a Spanish newspaper article asserting U.S. officials were investigating Cabello for alleged ties to drug trafficking. The paper at the time said it could not pay that amount.Reuters | Caracas | Updated: 15-05-2021 06:51 IST | Created: 15-05-2021 06:51 IST

Ode to ‘The Professor for the Poor’ – Venezuela’s Afro Caribbean Hero
Chronicles Of A Chronic Caribbean Chronicler By Earl Bousquet
I WAS quite taken aback in pure Shock and Awe, like all who knew him when I heard my friend AristobuloIstruiz, Venezuela’s most popular Afro Venezuelan leader, had died from a massive heart attack on April 27, aged 74.
I’d first met ‘The Professor’ (as he was known throughout his life) with a group of Caribbean journalists at a giant oil PDVSA depot in Venezuela in 2016.
Our itinerary for the day included ‘a discussion’ with ‘the Governor of Anzoategui State’ and when we saw who emerged from the state car with the heavy security detail, I could have seen and felt the common expression of silent but very welcome surprise that he looked just like us.

Dr Sasa, the exiled special envoy of Myanmar’s disbanded parliament, recently urged Western countries to coordinate their punitive actions against the military junta who staged a coup against the democratically elected government, and who have violently repressed the mass protests. Sasa’s petition came as the United Nations Security Council failed to reach a consensus on punishing the junta, due to oppositions from China and Russia.
Myanmar is not the only country where dictators have benefited from support from China and Russia. Other “rogue” regimes such as Venezuela, Syria, Iran and Belarus are also beholden to China and Russia for their survival from political crises and crunching international sanctions.
