Self-protection
, February 24, 2014
Angel Vivas, a retired army general and anti-government protester, stands in his house with an automatic weapon as he resists being detained in Caracas on February 23. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said the opposition-linked military officer encouraged demonstrators to string up cables at roadblocks and trained them to do so, and on Saturday ordered his arrest in connection with a young man's death.
