Press release issued by ORVEX

Miami, Florida.- On Thursday, April 30th, 2015, the Organization of Venezuelans in Exile,
ORVEX issued a new urgent letter to the President of the United States, Barack Obama,
requesting to stop deportations of Venezuelans due to worsening human rights conditions in
Venezuela.

ORVEX continues its tireless effort to ask for the activation of a "DED" - Deferred Enforced
Departure, a measure only given by the President of the United States via an Executive Order,
which would allow Venezuelans without status to get an Employment Authorization Document.

In its letter, ORVEX informs Barack Obama that in 2008, the then President George W. Bush
issued a response to ORVEX in a letter that is being attached to the same. At that time, ORVEX
collected 30,000 signatures throughout America, which were sent to the White House through
the office of then-Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart.

Right now, human rights conditions in Venezuela have dramatically worsen; even, Venezuelans
who travel to the U.S. for more than 30 days and return, are being subjected to long
interrogations because they are suspected of having been stealthily trained by CIA and the U.S.
Department of State to overthrow the Venezuelan government and to even murder the head of
state.

ORVEX concludes its letter appealing to the good heart of Barack Obama so that he continues
helping the world to live in peace and democracy, and to somehow contribute to relieve the
grave humanitarian crisis that is being experienced by thousands of our compatriots
Venezuelans who are living in exile in the U.S.
