Protesters have marched in duelling demonstrations in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, as the country’s National Assembly weighed a bill that would grant amnesty to political prisoners.

The demonstrations on Thursday marked Venezuela’s National Youth Day and were the first major showing of opposition to the government led by interim President Delcy Rodriguez.
