| Summary / Abstract (Note) | When mass protests against the government erupted in Venezuela early in February, murder rates in the country were already shocking-close to twenty-five thousand people dead in the previous year, with ninety-seven percent of cases going unsolved. They would soon get worse, as motorcycle gangs in civilian clothes began attacking and shooting unarmed citizens, particularly youngsters, with the security forces standing by. |
