VENEZUELA: Protesters call for officers to stand trial
Independent, The (London), Jul 31, 2002
Supporters of President Hugo Chavez demonstrated outside the Supreme Court yesterday to demand that four senior military officers stand trial for their alleged role in a brief April coup against the left-wing leader. The government alleges they were the military ringleaders of the uprising in which 60 people died and are guilty of rebellion.
Senior magistrates will decide whether or not the four men should go on trial.
