Women march to keep pressure on Venezuela’s Maduro
10 years agoVenezuelan opposition activists take part in a women's march aimed to keep pressure on President Nicolas Maduro, whose authority is being increasingly challenged by protests and deadly unrest, in Caracas on May 6, 2017. The death toll since April, when the protests intensified after Maduro's administration and the courts stepped up efforts to undermine the opposition, is at least 36 according to prosecutors.

The rally, to be led by Lilian Tintori, wife of jailed opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, is the latest in more than a month of anti-government demonstrations, many of which have been countered by pro-Maduro crowds and security forces.
