Protest held at OAS against attacks on Venezuala in wake of Brazil coup

Submitted by Luke on Wed, 06/01/2016 - 18:57

On Tuesday, the 31st of May OAS secretary general Luis Almagro called an "emergency meeting" to discuss suspending Venezuela from the OAS. On Wednesday, the 1st of June, supporters of Venezuelan president Maduro showed up in front of the OAS's DC building calling for impeaching Almagro, the president of the OAS instead of overthrowing Venezuelan president Maduro. The two right-wing counterprotesters were outnumbered by Venezuelan citizens at the protest outraged at the OAS attacking their country and fearing a coup may be in the works.

Video-counterprotester says pro-Madura protesters "would be shot in the head"-but by own government or the planned "nonviolent coup?"

Code Pink protests "#IsraeliSaudi" event, gets a team inside hotel

Submitted by Luke on Fri, 05/06/2016 - 00:24

On the 5th of May, high-level Saudi and Israeli officials met at the so-called "Mandarin Oriental" hotel in SW DC. Code Pink got a team inside before they were escorted back out. Code Pink then set up a noisy "teach-in" protest outside. Everyone in earshot heard about how both the Saudis and Israelis are among the worst human rights violators and sponsors of war in the entire Middle East. The Saudis were also called out for beheading people just like Daesh(ISIS) does and for planning to behead and crucify young Ali Nimr because his uncle was a (recently beheaded) prominant Shiite cleric. Saudi Arabia and Israel are both famous for being states founded on religion, also much like Daesh.
