Protests across Venezuela as election dispute goes on


Opposition supporters have gathered across Venezuela to protest against Nicolas Maduro's disputed victory in last month's presidential election.

Opposition leader María Corina Machado joined thousands of protesters in the capital, Caracas, and urged them not to be afraid.

Ms Machado, who had been in hiding after being accused of insurrection, said there was nothing above the voice of the people, and that the people had spoken.

Police and the army were deployed in force as supporters of Mr Maduro also held a demonstration.
