José Víctor Salazar Balza (28) catches fire amid violent clashes
with riot police during a protest against President Nicolás Maduro, in Caracas,
Venezuela.
President Maduro had announced plans to revise Venezuela’s
democratic system by forming a constituent assembly to replace the
opposition-led National Assembly, in effect consolidating legislative powers
for himself. Opposition leaders called for mass protests to demand early
presidential elections. Clashes between protesters and the Venezuelan national
guard broke out on 3 May, with protesters (many of whom wore hoods, masks or
gas masks) lighting fires and hurling stones. Salazar was set alight when the gas
tank of a motorbike exploded. He survived the incident with first- and
second-degree burns.
