They are all protesting the unjustified arrests and abuses of more than 50 students that had been in Nicolas Maduro's prisons for more than a year.
The students in New York City are demanding action from the UN for the release of the University students and other political prisoners in Venezuela.
Eduardo Bavaresco and Josmir Gutierrez began their New York City hunger strike last Wednesday, later to be joined by two other students Waleska Madener and David Bavaresco. General Antonio Rivero also joined the students.
The students managed to get the attention of the UN Representative for the Commissioner for Human Rights to hear their concerns about human right violations in Venezuela. They are hoping to hear from the UN as early as next Tuesday.
