Hundreds of Venezuelan police and troops broke up four makeshift camps maintained by student protesters yesterday, arresting 243 people in pre-dawn raids.
The tent cities were installed more than a month ago in front of the offices of the United Nations and in better-off neighborhoods in the capital to protest against President Nicolas Maduro's socialist government.
