VENEZUELA-ELECTION-CAPRILES-PROTEST

Supporters of Venezuelan presidential candidate Henrique Capriles bang saucepans as a sign of protest against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in Caracas on April 16, 2013. Violent protests over Venezuela’s disputed presidential election have so far left seven people dead and dozens injured, as president-elect Nicolas Maduro and his opposition rival traded blame Tuesday. Protests swept parts of Caracas and other Venezuelan cities Monday after the country’s election authorities proclaimed Maduro, the acting president, the narrow winner in Sunday’s vote and refused demands for a recount.
