On July 27 in Barinas, Venezuela, six activists belonging to the movement La Corriente Revolucionaria Bolívar y Zamora (CRBZ) were shot and killed by unidentified gunmen. This incident is part of the rising violence perpetrated by the right-wing large landowning class in the region. The massacre has been widely denounced by movements across Latin America, with the Venezuelan government expressing solidarity and willingness to investigate the violence.
