Recently acquired Russian AK-103 military rifles used in raiding opposition offices

March 16, 2007

And just so that there is no doubt about the militaristic and autocratic Government of Hugo Chavez, below you can see the picture from the raid by the intelligence police of the headquarters of the two opposition groups Comando de la Resistencia and Alianza al Bravo Pueblo. See the weapons? They are the AK-103 rifles imported from the Russia. When these refiles were bought we were told that it was time to upgrade the FAL’s that the Armed Forces were using, that the new ones would be used to protect our sovereignty, defend the country and the like. Well, here you see two civilian cops raiding two opposition groups using these “military-only” rifles in a raid in Caracas.

Who else is carrying them?

How many Venezuelans will be killed with the 100,000 rifles purchased?

By the way, in the raids looking for weapons, they found fliers and posters defending human rights, mathematical studies of the Electoral Registry and forms to ask permission from local authorities to hold marches.

Maybe they are looking for “weapons” in the wrong places?
