An anti-government protester fires a homemade mortar toward police officers during a demonstration in which masked youths battled police and blocked a main highway in Caracas, Venezuela, on April 21, 2014. Protests against the government of President Nicolas Maduro have led to violence that has killed at least 41 people since early February, according to official figures. The dead have been from both sides of the South American nation’s political divide, as well as from security forces. (Photo by hristian Veron/Reuters)
