Police clash in Venezuela with anti-government protesters

In Venezuela anti-government demonstrators protested against the arrest of two opposition mayors: Daniel Ceballos and  Enzo Scarano who were both accused of planning a coup against President Maduro's government. In the Venezuelan capital of Caracas hundreds of demonstrators threw sticks and stones at the riot police who in return responded with tear gas and water canons. High murder rates, immense inflation, and the lack of basic necessities has been causing daily protests against the government under President Nicolas Maduro. So far dozens of supporters and opponents of the government have lost their lives in these protests and the number continues to grow.
