CARACAS Galvanized by the release from jail of hardline leader Leopoldo
Lopez, Venezuelan opposition supporters on Sunday marked 100 days of
protests against a socialist government they blame for political
repression and economic misery.

Thousands of people gathered in an east Caracas square to hear
opposition figures including the wife of Lopez, Lilian Tintori, speak.

Many protests have ended in clashes between masked youths and security
forces, with more than 90 killed, hundreds arrested and thousands
injured since the unrest began at the start of April.

"We're not giving up. That Leopoldo is home fills us with the strength
to keep fighting," said Maria Garcia, a 54-year-old homemaker clad in a
white T-shirt bearing his image, as she gathered with friends at the rally.

While Lopez was at home with his two young children, Tintori, who has
campaigned for him around the world including during a meeting with U.S.
President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, said she was relieved to have
her husband home but the fight was not over.
