According to a researcher with the
Venezuelan Program for Action and Education in Human Rights
(PROVEA) in Caracas, PROVEA has no entry for a group with the
above-stated names or acronym in its database of political and
social action groups, nor has the program's research staff ever
heard of it (16 Apr. 1993). Although this does not necessarily mean
the group does not exist, according to the source it does mean that
it is not well known and would not be a significant organization
(Ibid.). A number of groups have been fighting government
corruption in Venezuela over the last decade, most or all of which
have a visible head or leader (Ibid.). Although some of the
groups do not have formal names, these groups are known by the
people who lead and work for them (Ibid.).
Additional and/or corroborating information
could not be found among the sources currently available to the
DIRB.
