Venezuelan human rights activist Rodrigo Diamanti was forced to flee his country after being arbitrarily detained, kidnapped, and threatened at gunpoint because he organized protests against the socialist government’s totalitarian rule.
Diamanti is the founder of the human rights organization Un Mundo Sin Mordaza (A World Without Censorship), which promotes human rights and freedom of expression in Venezuela. He embarked on civic activism many years ago, starting with a student movement that worked for free and fair elections and more transparent government.
