At least six people have died in the protests against President Nicolás Maduro’s controversial re-election in Venezuela, the non-governmental organization Foro Penal wrote on X on Tuesday.
Foro Penal added that two young people were among the victims and 132 demonstrators have been detained.
More protests are expected a day after the National Electoral Council officially declared Maduro, who has been in power since 2013, the winner of Sunday’s presidential election.
The opposition accuses the government of electoral fraud and claims victory for its candidate Edmundo González Urrutia.
The US, the European Union, the Organization of American States (OAS) and several Latin American countries have expressed doubts about the official election result.
