Months of Deadly Anti-Government Protests in Venezuela (30 photos)
Beginning on April 1, anti-government demonstrators have staged daily protests across Venezuela that continue to devolve into violent clashes with riot police, leaving thousands arrested, hundreds injured, and 66 dead. Opposition activists are protesting against the government of President Nicolas Maduro, blaming him for a crippling economic crisis that has caused widespread food shortages for years. The head of the Venezuelan military has warned troops not to commit “atrocities” against protesters, while Maduro’s government continues to work toward rewriting the constitution, defying those accusing him of clinging to power.
