Venezuela is seeing a spasm of violence that’s unlike anything the country has experienced, information is fragmented.

Created by J.R. on February 20, 2014

National Guard units and National Police have been shooting tear gas canisters and buckshot sometimes directly at protesters, sometimes into residential buildings and, raiding any place they think student protesters may be hiding. Alongside them, the government backed colectivos (basically paramilitary gangs on motorbikes, a tropical basij) shoot at people with live ammo.
