The Inter-American Court of Human Rights of the Organization of American States (OAS) will start on Wednesday a two-day hearing for a claim filed against the Venezuelan government by the employees of private TV news channel Globovisión.

A spokesman of the Court seated in Costa Rica on Tuesday told Efe that during the public hearing judges will hear the version of witnesses, the alleged victims, the plaintiff and the state attorneys.

The case, Gabriela Perozo vs. Venezuela, will be reviewed within the framework of a regular session held by the Court on May 2-9 in San José and including a number of private hearings linked with other cases.

The claim is related to the alleged government chasing of the TV channel. During the proceeding, the parties will provide their final allegations on the grounds and their estimates on an eventual indemnification and court expenses.
