Adam Kezza (PW-1):

 Length of Surveillance:

was a part of routine monitoring of individuals expressing dissent
against the government. It was a precautionary measure based on their
activities during their student days.

ensure preparedness for any potential disturbances during the protest.
Precautions were taken, but the rapid escalation of violence caught us
by surprise.

 Protest Turned Riot:


 Response: The protest escalated into a riot when some participants
turned violent, attacking law enforcement and causing damage. While
the protest leaders may not have initiated the violence, their speeches
and influence contributed to the volatile atmosphere.

 Arrest of Hugo Chavez and Camilo Cienfuegos:


 Response: The arrest of Hugo Chavez and Camilo Cienfuegos was
based on their visible leadership roles during the protest and evidence
linking them to the incitement of violence. They were actively trying to
control the narrative and direction of the protest.

protest. Instructions included maintaining order, detaining those
engaging in violence, and responding appropriately to any threats to
public safety.

the situation had already become volatile, and his statement wasn't the
sole cause of the riot.

unlawful elements seeking to escalate the situation. However, no
