AlQa'dah 18, 1435, Sep 13, 2014, SPA -- Venezuelan security forces have arrested 64 people during renewed demonstrations against President Nicolas Maduro's government in the capital as well as the city of Barquisimeto, a rights group said on Saturday. The detentions came on Friday when mostly student demonstrators organised protests to coincide with seven months since the Feb. 12 start of a major wave of demonstrations. "The protests have died down but are still sporadic, as we saw yesterday. Obviously the discontent continues," Alfredo Romero, head of the Penal Forum group, told Reuters, saying 47 people were arrested in Caracas and 17 in Barquisimeto. The Venezuelan government has not given figures for arrests on Friday, but Maduro ordered police and National Guard troops to show zero tolerance toward any so-called troublemakers. -- SPA 21:29 LOCAL TIME 18:29 GMT تغريد
