Venezuelan government dispatches additional troops Border areas have been particularly active in protest CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - The Venezuelan military planned to send additional troops to a border region where unrest has been particularly fierce, officials said Thursday, as the government faced growing criticism for its heavy-handed attempt to subdue a protest movement with nighttime sweeps that have turned many parts of the country into dangerous free-fire zones. Interior Minister Miguel Rodriguez Torres said a battalion of paratroopers would be dispatched to the state of Tachira, on the western border with Colombia, where protesters have clashed with police and National Guard units, bringing the capital city, San Cristobal, to a halt. "These units will, enable the city to function, so food can get in, so people can go about their normal lives," Rodriguez said. "It's simply meant to restore order." Members of the opposition have charged that the government of President Nicolas Maduro is leaning too heavily on the military as well as police and civilian militias to squash opposition to his socialist government. San Cristobal Vice Mayor Sergio Vergara, a member of the opposition, said the government had already cut off vital services, including public transportation and the Internet, to crack down on what had been peaceful protests against a government of a country that is rich in oil but struggling with inflation above 56 percent and one of the highest homicide rates in the world. The presence of some 3,000 H ,-, troops in a city of 600,000, Vergara said, is "effectively part of an effort at repression being played out by the government across the country." Violence has been escalating across Venezuela since a Feb. 12 opposition rally that turned vio- lent and left three people dead. Since then, there have been at least three more deaths as well as dozens of injuries and arrests. Police, National Guard troops and members of private militias have swarmed through streets in the capital and elsewhere firing volleys, at times indis- criminately, in repeated spasms of nighttime violence in recent days. Henrique Capriles, the two- time presidential candidate of an opposition coalition, said the government has engaged in "brutal repression" as it goes after students and other protest- ers, in some cases breaking into apartment buildings to arrest those it accuses of taking part in an attempted coup. "What does the government want, a civil war?" Capriles asked at a news conference. David Smolansky, an opposition mayor of a district in Caracas, saidthe countryis passing through the harshest wave of political persecution in decades with the response to the protests and the jailing of opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez. "If this isn't a totalitarian system then I don't know what can explain what is happening in this country," Smolansky said. While several large demonstrations by thousands of people have been peaceful, smaller groups of protesters have lobbed gas bombs and rocks and blocked streets with flaming barricades of trash. Troops and police have responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and blasts from water cannons - as well as raids by gun-firing men on motorcycle.
