International human rights activists are complaining that new laws have introduced forced labour in Venezuela.
"A new decree establishing that any employee in Venezuela can be effectively made to work in the country's fields as a way to fight the current food crisis is unlawful and effectively amounts to forced labor," Amnesty International said in a statement released on Thursday.
President Nicolás Maduro signed a decree at the end of last week that gives powers to the labor ministry to order "all workers from the public and private sector with enough physical capabilities and technical know-how" to join a government drive aimed at increasing food production.
They can be required to work in the agricultural sector for a 60-day period that can be extended for another 60 days "if the circumstances require it."

Let’s see the Democrats and Liberals decry slavery HERE.
Sure isn’t like Marx or Engels ever worked like that. Both were spoiled-rotten offspring of wealthy people.
It looks like VZ might be fertile ground for covert arms dealers going forward.
There are two kinds of people in Socialist countries- billionaires and slaves.
socialism = slavery......literally
Socialism is for the workers and the children.
None dare call it slavery.
So the solution to food shortages is to reintroduce slavery, after having outlawed it for nearly 200 years?
Socialism, at its finest.
Let’s see if the people take it lying down...
Pure Marxism, straight out of the Communist Manifesto.
Somehow the train car scene in Dr Zhivago comes to mind. The chained man.
They worked so well in Red China, Cambodia and Vietnam.
Due to Executive Order 13603 the same thing, or worse, can happen in America.
Forced labor with no compensation. Look it up!
Isn't that slavery?
Socialism always devolves into Slavery.
Such facts can only awaken intelligent people. More than half our electorate is stupid. Facts do not sway them. The Presidency has now become a celebrity popularity game, and seldom focuses on any real policy issues.
Forced labor is implied in the very idea of socialist planning. It is incompatible with socialist planning for private individuals to have the freedom to acquire the skill they want and to live where they want. Such freedom would alone make socialist planning impossible.
I keep telling people this: Socialism is merely the re-ascension of the Monarchy/Aristocracy form of government.
They simply don't call them "Lords" or "Kings", but that is what a communist government consists of.
Years ago I read this book:
It made it clear to me that Socialist movements *ALWAYS* start with spoiled-rotten offspring of wealthy people.
They aren't in touch with the real world, but instead they grow up in a world of artificial comforts for which they feel guilty, and so they generally attempt to overturn the societal dynamics that created their ease and comfort because they are too simpleminded to realize that their lives will turn to sh*t if they end up being successful.
Wealth imparts destructive impulses to foolish young people. Especially unearned wealth.
Now we just need to make it a Requirement to Enter in to Higher Education, that ALL Prospective Students spend 30 days in Venezuela as a cultural awareness prerequisite.
-—Lets see if the people take it lying down...——
They will take it like a rug...
Only when their children are forced into slaves will they do something...
