"The Alliance for Freedom of Expression (APLEX, for its Spanish initials) in Venezuela demanded on Wednesday [Feb. 25] the lifting of the digital blockade on media outlets and an end to persecution, among other actions to 'restore freedom of expression and communication' in the country, which is experiencing a new political crisis following the arrest of Nicolás Maduro last month.
At a press conference, the coalition presented a ten-point plan for 'immediate implementation by the Venezuelan state to initiate a genuine process of restoring civil and political rights.'
The list of demands includes the repeal of at least ten 'restrictive' laws, among which they highlighted the Law Against Hatred, which, according to the alliance, is being used as a tool for persecution."
