Thousands of Venezuelans have held a
peaceful march through the streets of the capital Caracas, calling for the
release of opposition leaders who have been in jail for more than a year. They
include two former mayors, Leopoldo Lopez and Daniel Ceballos, who are being
held on charges of inciting anti-government protests last year. President Nicolas Maduro has blamed them

jail. Opposition supporters shout during a rally against Venezuela's President

the former Caracas mayor, Antonio Ledezma. Smaller demonstrations took place in
other cities.
