Venezuela second most violent country in world (Spanish)

For their part, the chavista government is beginning to recognize the problem and publicize numbers after 14 years of silence.

On presenting his report for 2012, Maduro mentioned 10,000 dead, only those registered in 6 states of the country. He didn't add any numbers from the 23 other states. The NGO Foro Penal Venezolano denounced that the coutnry has a homicide rate of 70 murders for every 100,000 inhabitants, while the Ven Violence Observatory says 73 per 100,000 with 21,692 victims in 2012, the second highest rate in the world after Honduras.
