Several organizations have detailed the human rights abuses of both the Chavez and Maduro governments in Venezuala. [5] ActivityThe organisation issues press releases to counter unfavourable western media reports on the Chávez government, organises protests and participates in national anti-war demonstrations, and works in the British Trade Union Movement. It also has a presence on UK university campuses, where they hold regular lecture sessions on developments in Venezuela, organise visits by Venezuelan Trade Unionists, and screen documentaries. Hugo Chávez visited Vienna, where he spoke at a Hands Off Venezuela rally attended what VHeadline said was 5,000 youth;[6] The organization participated in the visit by Hugo Chávez to London as a guest of Mayor Ken Livingstone. (During this trip Chávez refused to meet UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who he described as a "pawn of [US] imperialism".)[7]) HOV participated in the resolutions of official support passed by the British Trades Union Congress in 2005 (Motion 79[8]) and 2007 (Motion 76[9]), the Scottish Trades Union Congress (Resolution 108[10]) and an Early Day Motion (EDM 487[11]) raised in the House of Commons by supporter John McDonnell, MP. Other supporters include Jeremy Dear, former general secretary of the British National Union of Journalists, George Galloway and the RESPECT party.[12] President Chávez officially thanked the organisation for their work.[13] PublicationsIn 2006 HOV launched a 24-page glossy promotional magazine, also called "Hands Off Venezuela", and put together an international delegation with members from around the world to observe the December 2006 Presidential Elections first hand. 2007 saw the campaign launch H.O.V FM, a monthly podcast available from the Hands Off website. The show features news, interviews, solidarity work, revolutionary music and features and is aimed at both activists and curious minds. See also
