36 . The evidence provided allows for the verification that those statements include the expressions that have been emphasized by the Commission and the representatives in their arguments. Thus, the social communication firm RCTV, and in some cases its owners and directors, are referred to as “fascists”,99 who “are committed” in [an] unstabilizing action against the government of Venezuela, against its people, against its laws, against the Republic.”100 Additionally, that firm or its owners are identified, expressly or implicitly, as participants in the coup d’etat of 2002; RCTV is included as one of the four private communication firms referred to as “the four horsemen of the Apocalypses;”101 and references are made to RCTV as “an enemy of the people of Venezuela” 102 and as responding to a “terrorist plan.”103 Similarly, the veracity of the information transmitted by RCTV is questioned, calling them “liars and palangristas”, and in some statements reference is made to the concession to operate a media firm and to the possibility of canceling it (infra paras. 330 through 339). 128. RCTV was characterized in the Commission’s application as “a private television station legally recorded” and as “a means of communication with an editorial line that is critical of the government and one of the four private television stations of Venezuela referred to as active political participants in acts of convulsion such as the coup d’etat of April 2002 and the strike of December of the same year.” Similarly, the Commission indicated, “the station has been the object of criticism at a domestic level […] regarding the way they transmit certain information under the arguments that it promotes violence, a lack of respect and honor towards the President of the Republic and broadcasts false and tendentious information.”104 This characterization was not objected by the State and in fact it agrees with several of the arguments regarding the political role that station has fulfilled at certain times (supra paras. 51, 52, and 61). 129. From the analysis of the facts in the following section (infra paras. 150 through 265), the Court observes that individuals committed them and the majority occurred during the exercise of journalistic tasks of the alleged victims, who described how they had been affected in their professional and personal life. In general, they agreed on the fact that they were afraid to perform their journalistic tasks on the streets, in certain areas, and when covering certain events; they referred to safety measures they had to employ in their tasks, the effects on their health, and the consequences on their family and social lives; additionally, some of the people had to move to another municipality or state or they temporarily or definitively resigned from their tasks (infra para. 272 and 273). 99 Transcripts of the Program “Aló Presidente” of December 15, 2002 (dossier of evidence, Volume V, appendix 47, folios 1505-1506) and transcripts of the program “Aló Presidente” of January 12, 2003 (dossier of evidence, volume V, appendix 47, folio 1543). 100 Transcripts of the Program “Aló Presidente” of December 15, 2002 (dossier of evidence, Volume V, appendix 47, folio 1508). 101 Transcripts of the program “Aló Presidente” of January 12, 2003 (dossier of evidence, volume V, appendix 47, folios 1541-1542) 102 Transcripts of the program “Aló Presidente” # 191 f May 9, http://www.gobiernoenlinea.ve/misc-view/sharedfiles/Alo_Presidente_191.pdf, page 11. 2004, available at 103 Transcripts of the program “Aló Presidente” of December 8, 2002 (dossier of evidence, volume V, appendix 47, folio 1628).
