and directors of [RCTV] […,] acting on [their] behalf and proceeding also on behalf and
in representation of the other people, journalists, directors, and other employees that
work at RCTV.” In this request they stated, inter alia, that:

victims and applicants in a case” before the Court;

the non-renovation of the concession to this social media; the emission of state
acts that formalize that decision to be executed on May 27, 2007 at midnight;
the rejection of all the judicial protection measures carried out in national
courts; [the precautionary decision of the Constitutional Chamber of the
