CARACAS, Venezuela — About 200 Venezuelans gathered outside a Caracas broadcast station Saturday to protest a decision by President Hugo Chavez’s government to revoke the licenses of 34 radio stations.
The demonstration occurred outside CNB 102.3 FM, which cut its over-the-air transmission Saturday morning on orders from the telecommunications regulatory agency and is now transmitting only over the Internet.
Telecommunications agency chief Diosdado Cabello denies the government is trying to limit freedom of expression or punish opponents, saying licenses are being revoked for violating regulations.
