...Chomsky has accused [Hugo Chávez] of amassing too much power and of making an "assault" on Venezuela's democracy...[Chomsky] spoke on the eve of publishing an open letter...that accuses Venezuela's authorities of "cruelty" in the case of a jailed judge..."Judge Afiuni has suffered enough...She has been subject to acts of violence and humiliations to undermine her human dignity. I am convinced that she must be set free."
