Cambridge graduate outraged by Chavez visit: The Requena Files

October 16, 2002

A friend, Cambridge graduate, fellow scientist and long time acquaintance of mine Jaime Requena has been very active in questioning the seminar that the International Human Rights Seminar is holding on Oct. 17 th. with Hugo Chavez as a speaker. I understand according to the Financial Times that they have had the decency of changing the name to Globalization and Poverty. (I imagine Mr. Chavez will talk about how to create poverty, he has a lot of expertise in this field, having created close to 2 million new poor people in his brief stint as President)


In any case. Dr. Requena has been kind enought to give me copies of his correspondence  with Oxford University and IHRS which I will compile in a new section called the “Requena Files” on the left. Enjoy!!


 


(If Oxford University can’t even get their IP’s straight, you wonder if they even know where Venezuela is, let alone the sterling record of Hugo Chavez in violating Civil Rights, the Constitution and Human Rights)
