VENEZUELA-POLITICS-OPPOSITION-LOPEZ-SURRENDER

Leopoldo Lopez (C), an ardent opponent of Venezuela’s socialist government facing an arrest warrant, leads a demonstration in Caracas before turning himself in to the National Guard, on February 18, 2014. Fugitive Venezuelan opposition leader Lopez turned himself into police Tuesday at a march by thousands of his supporters. Lopez, blamed by President Nicolas Maduro for violent clashes that left three people dead last week, appeared at an anti-government rally in eastern Caracas and quickly surrendered to police.
