AFP. 11 April 2002. Chavez orders troops around presidential palace to stop clashes; Venezuela's Chavez stops broadcast on three tv channels. CARACAS -- Venezuela's embattled President Hugo Chavez said Thursday he had ordered troops to surround the Miraflores presidential palace to protect his sympathizers against protesters calling for his resignation. "These people think they are going to be able to come here and get Chavez out and they think the armed forces are going to support a rebellion," said Chavez in a broadcast that began around 4:00 pm (2000 GMT). "The march can't get here, with thousands of people outside, we can't permit that," he said in a message to the nation. Chavez announced Thursday that broadcasts by three private television channels had been suspended on grounds they were inciting people to violence. Chavez announced the measure in a public broadcast, shortly after police said a journalist had been shot dead, as around 50,000 people held a protest march in a plush district of eastern Caracas. --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.a9617B Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
