Hundreds of Venezuelan protesters clashed with police in a march demanding the release of political prisoners in the capital Caracas, according to video posted on YouTube. The protest unfolded amid heightened tensions between the government and the opposition, with calls for the freedom of detained activists.
Video footage showed protesters throwing stones and other objects at police, while security forces used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowd. Several injured individuals were taken to local hospitals, though no official casualty figures have been released.
The march was organized by human rights groups and the opposition, aiming to demand the release of those arrested in previous protests. The Venezuelan government has not issued an official comment on the incident, but has previously accused the protests of being incited by foreign forces.
The situation in Venezuela remains tense amid a prolonged economic and political crisis, with many countries calling for dialogue between the parties to find a peaceful solution.
