Death toll in Venezuela’s protests rises to 34

The death toll in the Venezuelan protests increased to 34 after another young man was killed in Caracas on Wednesday amid escalating tensions provoked by the government’s call for a rewrite of the constitution, Latin American Herald Tribune reported Thursday. 

Thousands of protesters made their ways to the Parliament in the west of the city and ended up clashing with security forces who have been blocking roads and dispersing the protest with tear gas and rubber bullets. 

The opposition announced that it will remain in the streets until the constitutional order of the country is restored, which they claimed was disrupted when the Supreme Court assumed the functions of Parliament
