Venezuela: Right-wing parties take to streets again despite protest ban

VENEZUELAN’S opposition went ahead with its “takeover” march yesterday in defiance of the pre-election ban on gatherings.

This is despite Venezuelan law prohibiting meetings, rallies, protests, campaigning and the sale of alcohol for 48 hours before an election.
