in relation to the alleged commission of the crime of slight intentional injuries, by virtue of
the extinguishment of the criminal action, as well as the dismissal of the complaint related
to the others168. On February 8, 2006 the case file was allocated to the 39º Investigating
Trial Court of Caracas Metropolitan Area, though there is no record that such request has
been decided.

consider as proven the commission of the violation of the right of Antonetti Moreno to
humane treatment.

In the application, the Commission alleged that “On June 13, 2002, a Globovisión team comprising
reporter Beatriz Adrián, cameraman Jorge Paz, and assistant Alfredo Peña was at the federal parliament building
covering a session of the National Assembly. As the media workers were preparing to leave, the Assembly building
was surrounded by a group of some 40 individuals whose shouts and threatening attitude hindered their exit. The
Globovisión journalist was interviewing one of these individuals, asking him to explain why he was behaving like
that, when another person struck her microphone and knocked it to the floor. Members of the Metropolitan Police
who were on the scene finally enabled the Globovisión workers to leave. Their vehicle, which was marked with the
station’s logo, was scratched, beaten, and sprayed with paint".
