“All this does not mean, nevertheless, that Franklin Brito has died.

From 2009 July, Franklin Brito had realised successive hunger strikes to protest by the presumed expropriation of its earth in the state Bolivar, in the south-east of Venezuela.
The past month of June, Brito, in thirst and hunger strike, began to receive treatment of hydration on the part of doctors of the Venezuelan Red Cross, informed then local means.
The producer weighed 43 kilos at that time and the doctors of the Red Cross could not provide serum to him via intravenous due to their extreme thinness, said then their daughter, Ángela Brito, according to the information of the press.
Brito had initiated a thirst strike to demand   
that it was allowed the Venezuelan Red Cross to attend it, since did not trust the doctors of the Military Hospital, where it remained from December last against his will, according to he himself explained.
A court of Caracas authorized in June the Red Cross to attend Brito, hours after the Venezuelan vice-president, Elías Jaua, denounced that “a campaign had untied, national or as much international” on the case of the farming producer and professor of Biology.
That campaign, added Jaua, would look for “to weaken the truth”, that is “to induce to the death” the striker “to present/display it like a fact of violation of the human rights on the part of the Venezuelan State”, according to emphasized.
Jaua offered those declarations after meeting with representatives in Venezuela of United Nations, the Organization of American Estados (OAS) and of the Pan-American Organization of Salud (OPS), to those who it alerted of the assumption “bad use” that is making the opposition to president Hugo Chavez of the case of Brito.
Brito fulfilled his first protest the 10 of May of 2005, when, in front of reporters to whom it summoned in a Caracas place, meñique was clipped and threatened cutting to a finger every week in rejection to the “governmental extreme cruelty” that it denounced in his against.
To this it did it protest by the supposed governmental ignorance of a rural property of 299 hectares, which Jaua said that it is false and that rather the one was the Government of Chávez that granted the title deeds to him in 1999.
Brito began its hunger strike in the middle of the year last before the office in Caracas of the OAS and suspended to the fasting the 4 of December, when the cancellation of the expropriation was notified to him, after which was transferred to the Military Hospital.
The National Tierras Institute (INTI) revoked then emitted agrarian letters in favor of third parties, with presumed land affectation of Brito.
The agriculturist put three conditions not to retake strike: “that emits a copy certified” of the cancellation of the expropriation, “which they initiate the indemnification process and that denies the versions appeared in the press” on supposed debts that would maintain with the INTI.
When not folding the authorities to its demands, Brito reinitiated its hunger strike intermittently.
