| [Iran Press TV] Venezuela's riot police forces have clashed with protesters following their attack against the Tourism Ministry building in the capital Caracas. On Wednesday, the demonstrators gathered in the eastern part of the capital to demand the release of those detained during protests. The protest turned violent after the protesters targeted the ministry, which prompted police intervention to put an end to the demonstration. According to Manuel Quevedo, the commander of the National Guard regiment, 80 people were detained during the festivities. "Fewer and fewer people are heeding protest calls," said one of the protesters. |
