Venezuela's Supreme Court on Wednesday banned media from publishing videos of lynchings, saying they create "anxiety and uncertainty" in a country ravaged by violent crime and an economic crisis.

The OPEC nation's society is in upheaval amid triple-digit inflation, a deep recession and brutal shortages of food and medicine. As Venezuelans have grown increasingly angry at frequent thefts, hold-ups and homicides, mob beatings and lynchings have increased in the country, which is already one of the world's most violent.

Gory videos of mob justice or photos of bloody corpses sometimes make the rounds on social media. President Nicolas Maduro's socialist government says the footage is part of a larger plan to sully his administration and stoke unrest in an attempt to unseat him.

In its statement, the top court, which Venezuela's opposition accuses of being subservient to Maduro, singled out two digital outlets, but said the ban applies to all media.

“But a study by three leading Caracas universities found that 76 percent of Venezuelans are now under the poverty line, compared with 52 percent in 2014.”

If a man falls to a mob in Venezuela does he make a sound?

Problem solved ??

There is no problem— as the article stated : it is a deep recession!

No anarchy , no food lines , no currency, just like Somalia and
Zimbabwe- just minor bumps in the road of life

How backward they are...

OUR media doesn’t need a court to tell them to hide the evil socialists do!
They consider that their #1 job!

Obama and Hillary are sitting back, licking their chops, dreaming about and wishing they had that much power and control over their subjects.
