Who is Leopoldo Lopez? It is hard to argue that many of those involved in anti-government protests in Venezuela donĂ ‚¬ „ t have legitimate grievances Ă ‚¬" widespread insecurity and media repression cannot be ignored Ă ‚¬" or that the governmentĂ ‚¬ „ s charges against opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, including Ă ‚¬Ĺ"terrorism,Ă ‚¬ ť have been filed with sufficient substantiation.
