Venezuela's “Wonder Woman”

Venezuelan fitness fanatic, Caterina Ciarcelluti, dubbed “Wonder Woman” by fellow activists appears in RIOT – Civil Unrest’s Venezuelan Riot.

The protests began in early February when students demanded increased security after a female student was allegedly been the victim of attempted rape. The students also complained about record inflation and food shortages.

Protests turned violent and several several students were arrested. This lead to further demonstrations in the capital, Caracas, demanding their release.

The protests in Caracas turned deadly when three people were shot. There have been many demonstrations since then, varying in size from small gatherings to large rallies. Venezuela has the fifth highest murder rate in the world, and crime is rife in many urban centres.
