VENEZUELA: Hunger Striker Dies Protesting Land Grab.

CNN/      Franklin Brito, 49, a farmer in the southern state of Bolivar, who went on a hunger strike over the occupation of his land by neighboring farmers has died.
Brito claimed his land was taken over with the blessing of President Hugo Chavez's land reform agency in 2000 which he appealed and protested with hunger strikes. Chavez once publicly said he sided with Brito and called for officials to make Brito whole, but nothing ever came to be, his daughter Angela said.
