Students chained to Cuban embassy end protest in Venezuela

Emyly Vera, a spokesperson of the group of university students who demonstrated near the Cuban Embassy to Caracas for five days, announced the end of the protest after the Venezuelan Government reported on the return of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez to his country.

"We asked for his return. We said that if he was able to rule, he had to do it in his own country and not abroad," she added. Vera pointed out that although the demonstration is over, "the battle is not."

She reassured Venezuelans that the student movement would continue rallying, "we are deeply committed to the Venezuelan people (...) they (government officials) will not keep our mouths shut," she stated.
