Venezuela protest toll rises after night of violence
Venezuela was rocked by a night of fresh violence during anti-government protests that have now claimed nine lives in three weeks, after an official said Friday that another man had been fatally shot. Riot police firing tear gas fought running battles overnight in the west and south of Caracas with protesters demanding the ouster of President Nicolas Maduro. "With much pain, I report the death by gunshot of Melvin Guaitan, humble neighborhood worker of Sucre municipality," Mayor Carlos Ocariz wrote on Twitter.
