A model called 'Mr. Exxon' is hung before being burnt during Easter Sunday celebrations in Caracas March 23, 2008. In Venezuela, people burn this 'Judas' every year representing a political situation. Last week in Venezuela, a British judge has lifted a $12 billion freeze on Venezuelan assets awarded to U.S. oil major Exxon Mobil in a spat over a seized oil project. [Agencies]
