Venezuelans in multiple cities gathered for anti-government protests on April 10 in the fourth round of demonstrations to hit the country within the past 10 days.

Protests were triggered by a March 30 Supreme Court decision to strip power from the opposition-controlled National Assembly, a decision the court later withdrew. Later, in a separate move, the national comptroller banned opposition leader Henrique Capriles from holding office for 15 years.
