"On Saturday, about 400 protestors from across the Bay Area gathered in downtown San Francisco to protest President Donald Trump's bombing of Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, and his capture of Venezuela's president Nicholás Maduro. "Stop bombing Venezuela!" they chanted while marching from Powell and Market streets to City Hall. "No more coups, no more wars, Latin America isn't yours!""
"In the past few months, the Trump administration has ramped up pressure on Venezuela, gathering naval forces off the coast and bombing boats that it alleged, without evidence, had drug smugglers onboard. At least 115 people were killed in the strikes. Last night's strike appeared to target military infrastructure. Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured during the strike and brought to New York, where they now face charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine-importation conspiracy, and weapons charges."
""We saw them destroy the very fundamental rights that all Latin American countries and all countries of the world share," Omar Khoury, a member of the Palestinian Youth Movement, said about the American attacks, listing out the right to independence and sovereignty. The secretary-general of the United Nations called the strikes "deeply worrying," and international-law experts have said they are "clearly illegal.""
