Plunderers electrocuted in Caracas

Eight people would have died in Caracas on Friday when they were electrocuted when plundering a store.

At the great demonstrations in recent weeks against President Nicolas Maduro's rule, nine deaths were certainly taken. On Thursday, another protector died of a bullet wound he had incurred in Caracas.

Angry Venezuelans have protested since the supreme court of the country last month put parliament on a sidewalk. That step was soon reversed, but the popular wrath was not tempered there.

Security forces sometimes resort to the massive protests across the country. But opposition leaders have already announced new actions. They demand, among other things, that deferred regional elections are held and that almost one hundred arrested opposition activists are released.
