Capriles posts a video showing the military shooting protesters

May 28, 2017 by Staff News Writer

Through his twitter account, Henrique Capriles sent a message to the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro warning him that in the streets there is always someone who sees everything.

The text comes with a video where an officer is seen carrying his gun and firing in Anzoátegui State. Subsequently, protesters are seen running to protect themselves.

This was in our Anzoátegui! Unfortunately, @nicolasmaduro, someone is always watching! There you have it @MPvenezolano JUSTICE!”

reads the message.

According to the AFP news agency, the Venezuelan public prosecutor has reported the death of a 20-year-old man, after being wounded in the abdomen on Saturday during a demonstration in the State of Anzoátegui.

Apparently, the deceased was an activist of the opposition party Voluntad Popular, which supports the imprisoned leader Leopoldo López.

This situation occurs in a convulsive environment, where Maduro accuses the opponents of murdering a retired military man, who was beaten and shot by a group of people in the state of Lara, according to the prosecutor’s office.
