Venezuela: Political spiral of violence a threat to the rule of law | Amnesty International

 “The country runs the risk of descending into a spiral of violence
unless steps are taken to bring the conflicting parties around the
table. This can only happen if both sides fully respect human rights and
the rule of law. Unless this happens, the death toll will continue to
rise with ordinary people bearing the brunt,” said Erika Guevara Rosas,
Americas Director at Amnesty International.

 

So far 37 people have lost their lives and more than 550 have been injured in Venezuela since protest started in early February.
