Wife arrives for latest court appearance by opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez

(18 Nov 2014) Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez appeared before a judge on Tuesday to face charges of inciting violence during anti-government protests at the beginning of 2014. His wife and a number of his supporters were at the courthouse to protest against his ongoing incarceration in custody. Lopez, who is the head of the Popular Will Party, has been in custody since February 2014. His wife Lilian Tintori said that she has not been allowed to visit her husband for over a month. "They are looking to break him. They're looking to break his will, that of Leopoldo and of the political prisoners and they will not succeed. The commitment (to Venezuela) is too big." Lopez was transferred from a military prison to a courthouse where a new hearing took place. Lopez's attorney said the court's decisions would show the international community whether or not Venezuela can respect human rights. The United Nations has urged the Venezuelan government to release Lopez. Lopez, a Harvard-educated former mayor of one of Caracas' districts, is the most prominent of a group of opposition leaders who are challenging President Nicolas Maduro.
