Death Toll Rises to 11 in Violent Venezuela Post-Election Protests
Anti-government protests intensified across Venezuela following the disputed reelection of President Nicolás Maduro. Human rights organizations reported that at least 11 people have been killed in clashes between demonstrators and security forces or pro-government paramilitary groups known as 'colectivos'. Over 750 individuals have been detained as the opposition, led by María Corina Machado, continues to demand the release of full voting tallies, while the government characterizes the unrest as an attempted fascist coup.
