Un Mundo Sin Mordaza (transl. A World Without a Gag) is a Venezuelan non-governmental organization founded in 2009, whose stated mission is denouncing attacks on freedom of expression and human rights violations. The organization has global volunteers who coordinate campaigns that use music, art and culture to promote human rights and democratic values, as well as raise awareness about the complex humanitarian emergency (CHE) in Venezuela. The organization trains and educates human rights activists worldwide, while also supporting initiatives of documentation of fundamental rights violation in Venezuela.[1]
Un Mundo Sin Mordaza was founded by Rodrigo Diamanti, a Venezuelan human rights activist and economist graduated from the Universidad Católica Andrés Bello (UCAB), with a master's degree in international diplomacy from the Universidad Ortega y Gasset in Madrid, and MPA from the Harvard Kennedy School where he worked as a researcher at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation.[2]
On May 7, 2014, Diamanti was arrested by the Bolivarian Intelligence Service (SEBIN) for allegedly supporting anti-government protests and creating a global campaign called SOS Venezuela. He was released two days later with precautionary measures. Diamanti was reportedly harassed by the Minister of Interior and Justice, General Miguel Rodríguez Torres,[3] as well as on the program Con El Mazo Dando.[4]
