I lived in Venezuela for a short while when I was 11 years old in 1986 but I couldn't even begin to say how it was politically back then... I was inocent and traveling with my parents on a sailboat. Aside from running away from a crazy man waving a shot gun and yelling at me, all I have are good memories.
I can only imagine what losing your freedom means but I can never truly know what you are going through. Sorry
