Venezuela's unrest claims 21st victim as new protests loom

Weeks of political unrest have claimed another victim as Venezuela's opposition prepares for another mass protest.
The Interior Ministry said yesterday that Almelina Carrillo died in a hospital after being struck on the head with a frozen water bottle thrown from a high rise during a pro-government rally last week.
At least 21 people now have been killed since the unrest began almost a month ago over the Supreme Court's decision to gut the opposition-controlled congress of its powers.
News of the death comes as opponents of President Nicolas Maduro are set to flood highways across the nation today for a daylong sit-in.

Maduro yesterday said he wouldn't give in to opponents and again urged them rejoin negotiations they broke off last December.
