Venezuelan political opposition leader and founder of the Popular Will Party, Leopoldo López, will spend the next 45 days in the Ramo Verde jail in Los Teques. During that time, the Public Prosecutors Office will decide whether it seeks to convict him of the alleged planning of the violent incidents that happened after the opposition rally on February 12 in the center of Caracas.
Judge Ralenis Tovar Guillén delivered the detention measure today at 1:00 a.m. inside the military prison where López is held. She made use of a mobile court unit basically a bus repurposed to function as a court of law, allegedly to protect the life and integrity of the accused, as stated by the prosecution.
Guillén dismissed the objection of Juan Carlos Gutiérrez, Lópezs lawyer. According to Gutiérrez, the judges decision violates legal and constitutional dispositions of due process: the audience should have taken place in a proper court of law.
The prosecutor is accusing López, among other charges, of criminal association, an offense penalized by the Organic Law Against Organized Crime and the Financing of Terrorism with 10 years of prison.

Hey Ralphie boy!! Hummina Hummina Hummina
Venezuela is in a state of “a non-shooting civil war” except for the police/secret police and some soldiers and maybe few covert Cubans.
Forgotten in all the discussions at this site is the fact that Obama and his friends (Rev. Wright, JJackson, Rev. Willie Barrows, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Medea Benjamin and her marxist Code Pink, and the whole Black Congressional Caucus), supported Hugo Chavez, an avowed marxist strongman, and now his successor Maduro.
You know that the Obama regime and State Dept. aren’t going to do a damned thing to help the democratic opposition evict Maduro and his “gorillas” (think of Allende’s personal Cuban armed and trained militia before the coup).
John Kerry oppose a red? Not on your life. They are still shaking - with -laughter - at his official pronouncements about Assad/Syria; the mentally ill Kims and his pure Maoist regime of mass murder in No. Korea;Ayatalloh Khomeini and his Religio-Fascist gnomes of “Qom”; supporting Morsi and the Moslem Brotherhood, and supporting the Sandinistas in the 1980’s.
Only the Venezuelan people can clean up their own mess and I don’t care particularly how they do it. Just do it, Ceaucescu-style if you will. Keep the firing squads going until you run out of ammunition and then use shovels.
Or, as an alternative, an Indonesian-style revolution is needed in order to cleanse the stranglehold of marxism that has gripped Venezuela. They knew who the enemy was and did something about it.
Both Mao and Che’ said that a revolution wasn’t a picnic. Time for our guys to show the reds that picnic can go both ways. The ants can fight back and win. They did it in 1956 in Venezuela. They can do it again.
