The regime has been constantly committing crimes against the humanity. They created an 8 million people exodus.

They kidnap, torture and kill political prisoners.

Deployed the national guard on the favelas to kill indiscriminately thousands without a fair trial.

You can Google all the UN reports on these matters.

It sounds like repression —which if extreme enough approaches (civil) war. I’ll give you that but then we’d include Cuba, North Korea and a few other countries as well.

Sure. Now name people who are more deserving of the Nobel peace prize as this woman and explain their accomplishments and why it should make them a better pick. I'll wait.

I don't really understand what you're arguing for or against. That this woman doesn't deserve the prize because there are places worse than Venezuela? What does that have to do with the Nobel peace prize? This isn't a "pick the worst place on earth" contest.

I honestly don't understand any of the complaints in these comments. Is it because she's a woman? Or what? I've not seen anybody make any substantial arguments as to why she shouldn't be eligible.

If someone was working to bring elections to North Korea, then they too would deserve a Nobel.

Every country should be rooting for our situation to be solved. We have way too many people abroad enduring bad situations that would be better back at home with a decent government and democracy restored.

There are people that have WALKED all over the continent to flee, all the way to the US and Canada or Argentina, Chile, etc.
