1. WRITE FOR RIGHTS 2018 GERALDINE CHAC N, VENEZUELA

2. GERALDINE CHACN, VENEZUELA I ve campaigned for Write for Rights cases before. I never imagined I d be on the other side of the campaign.

3. What is it about? Geraldine is conditionally released. Her freedom is restricted by a requirement to register at a local court every 30 days and a ban to leave the country. Geraldine was arrested on suspicion of being associated with a local NGO called Brave Heart (Coraz n Valiente), in turn linked to some dissident groups called Resistance which, according to the government, are groups of opposition activists who have been demonstrating violently against the government since 2017. This is not true! Community Ambassadors Foundation (Fundaci n de Embajadores Comunitarios, FEC) where Geraldine works is a community base organization that empowers youth from impoverished areas providing Human Rights Education and running UN Model activities with them.
