Luis Alberto Gutiérrez Prieto, a 26-year-old student, left home with his brother and some friends on 19 February to take part in a protest in San Antonio de los Altos, Miranda State.
Luis Alberto told Amnesty International that he was looking on as members of the National Guard were hitting and insulting other demonstrators when, without warning, he was kicked in the face and then made to kneel in the street for two hours.
