The independent group Violence Observatory has reported that more than 10,000 people have been killed in crime-fighting operations in Venezuela in the past two years.
Police have been cracking down, particularly in the country’s poorest neighbourhoods – which used to be solid supporters of Hugo Chavez’s socialist revolution, but are now where Nicolas Maduro‘s government fears the spread of anti-government opposition.
The government has denied any wrongdoing, insisting that those killed are part of criminal gangs and resist government authorities.
