Venezuelans citizens aged 18-60 must register for compulsory military draft
Venezuelans citizens aged 18-60 who do not register with the compulsory military draft will be labeled as ``reluctant draftee'' and will be fined with 12 tax units, as established under the Conscription and Military Draft Registration Law, which was passed in October 2009.
Venezuela will train peasant militias that work with soldiers as tensions rise with landowners after a spate of shootings of small farmers, including two attempts on one man's life this year.
