40. Beating The Opposition

Government supporters beat a naked opposition student as he's forced to sit on the ground inside of the Central University of Venezuela, UCV, during an anti-government protest in Caracas, Venezuela.

Students attempted to march from the university to protest the countries deteriorating economy, but hundreds of riot police prevented them from leaving campus, deploying tear gas and flash-bang grenades. The hours-long street battle ended with pro-government groups in bandanas storming the campus.
