Lilian Tintori

Thousands of women dressed in white marched in Venezuela's capital on May 6 to keep pressure on President Nicolas Maduro, whose authority is being increasingly challenged by protests and deadly unrest.

Led by opposition leaders, lawmakers and Lilian Tintori - the wife of jailed opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez - the crowd carried flowers and placards denouncing "repression."  

Venezuela's Supreme Court on Feb. 16 upheld opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez's nearly 14-year prison sentence, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump called for his release.

Led by women dressed in white, several thousand Venezuelans  marched through Caracas on Oct. in the first of what the opposition hopes will be growing protests against the quashing of a referendum to remove President Nicolas Maduro.
