In over 20 cities in neighboring Colombia, thousands rallied against the Venezuelan president, many wearing custom-made tee-shirts bearing slogans such as "No More Chavez" and "Chavez: Dictator."
Protests were also held in New York, Madrid, Paris, Brussels, Hamburg, Toronto, condemning Chavez' leftist government and his alleged destruction of free speech.
The movement was mobilized less than two weeks ago by a group called "Global March against Chavez on September 4," founded by 28-year-old Colombian businessman Alejandro Gutierrez.
Using social networking tools such as the Internet websites Facebook and Twitter, Gutierrez said he had garnered support from over 300,000 people around the globe.
