Warden Message: Caracas Protest January 23
U.S. Embassy Caracas issued the following Warden Message on May 25:
This warden message is being issued to alert American citizens traveling to and residing in Venezuela of the strong probability of marches associated with the Venezuelan government’s decision not to renew the broadcasting license of Radio Caracas Television (RCTV). Demonstrations by both supporters and opponents of the decision are expected on or around May 27, the date the license expires, but may occur at any time. Recent media coverage shows large numbers of military and police vehicles moving along the main thoroughfares of Caracas. The likelihood for demonstrations is especially high in Caracas.
We wish to remind American citizens that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence. American citizens are therefore urged to avoid the areas of demonstrations if possible, and to exercise caution if within the vicinity of any demonstrations. Since the timing and routes of marches and demonstrations are always subject to change, American citizens should monitor local media sources for new developments.
For the latest security information, Americans traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department’s Internet web site at http://travel.state.gov where the current Worldwide Caution Public Announcement, Travel Warnings and Public Announcements can be found. Up to date information on security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the United States, or, for callers outside the United States and Canada, a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays). American citizens traveling or residing overseas are encouraged to register with the appropriate U.S. Embassy or Consulate on the State Department’s travel registration website at https://travelregistration.state.gov .
