(19 Apr 2017) Thousands of anti-government demonstrators faced off against police in Tachira on Wednesday as more demonstrators battled police in Caracas.
The Venezuelan National Guard members launched tear gas in an effort to disperse the demonstrators, who threw rocks at them as well as throwing their tear gas canisters back at them.
The government has tried to recover from the near-daily protests with its own show of force: jailing hundreds of demonstrators, barring former presidential candidate Henrique Capriles from running for office and standing by as pro-government groups violently attack opposition members of congress.
