| Venezuelan security forces have faced off with stone-wielding protesters as supporters of President Nicolas Maduro also rallied on the anniversary of last year's fatal unrest.
The flare-ups, in the volatile western city of San Cristobal and the capital Caracas, recalled four months of protests and violence in 2014 killing 43 people and underlined just how tense the South American nation remains.
In San Cristobal, National Guard soldiers and police fired teargas and buckshot against demonstrators who hurled pipes and Molotov cocktails when a march was blocked.
