On Friday 12 November 2010 Caracas subway users protested for the bad service that it gives and gets worse each passing day, the police suddenly arrived at the subway station and arrested 33 people with absurd charges of obstructing railway operations.
The Caracas subway service has gradually deteriorated over the last several years due to lack of investment and maintenance. The shortage of trains often causes bottlenecks in the busiest subway stations during rush hour in the morning and evening.
Police Chief Luis Fernandez told the media "irresponsible people who boarded a train and stopped to protest will be jailed and prosecuted.”
This is another example that in Venezuela protesting peacefully is seen by Chavez's dictatorial government as a crime.
