Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez (R) decorates US civil rights activist Reverend Jesse Jackson with the Liberator’s Order prior to a press conference at the presidential palace Miraflores in Caracas, 29 August, 2005. Jackson, on a three-day visit to Venezuela to meet Chavez, politicians and community leaders, also called on US President George W. Bush to issue “a swift rejection” of Protestant Minister Pat Robertson’s statement calling for Chavez’s assassination – which he described as “repugnant, inmoral and illegal”.
