Opposition activists blocking a highway in Caracas clash with the police during a protest against the government of President Nicolas Maduro, on June 23, 2017. Near- daily protests against President Nicolas Maduro, blamed for an economic crisis that has caused desperate shortages of food, medicine and other basic goods, began on April 1, with demonstrators demanding his removal and the holding of new elections. The demonstrations have often turned violent with 75 people killed and more than 1,000 injured so far, prosecutors say, and more than 3,000 arrested, according to the NGO Forum Penal.
