Protests erupted across Venezuela following President Nicolas Maduro's disputed re-election, resulting in at least one fatality and 46 arrests, according to the human rights group Foro Penal. The Venezuelan electoral authority declared Maduro the winner despite significant opposition claims and international skepticism regarding the election's legitimacy. Protesters voiced their discontent, chanting for freedom and expressing allegations of electoral fraud. Alfredo Romero, director of Foro Penal, confirmed the death occurred in Yaracuy state amidst clashes with police using tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse crowds. Opposition leaders Edmundo González and Maria Corina Machado stated they possess evidence to prove their candidate's victory, urging supporters to remain peaceful. Maduro, meanwhile, dismissed the protests as an attempt at a 'fascist coup' against his government.
