Venezuela: Fugitive opposition leader surrenders

Fugitive Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez turned himself in to authorities Tuesday at a march in Caracas by thousands of his supporters.

Lopez, blamed by President Nicolas Maduro for violent clashes that left three people dead last week, appeared at an anti-government rally in eastern Caracas and quickly surrendered to the National Guard after delivering a brief speech.

He was escorted to a National Guard vehicle amid a tumult among his followers and the media.

Lopez dropped out of public view after Maduro ordered his arrest on charges of homicide and inciting violence, but in a video message on Sunday, he invited his followers to join him in a march Tuesday at which he would turn himself in.
