Mass sit-ins in Venezuela, as anti-government protesters keep up the pressure for early elections.<br /><br /> Here in Caracas, roads were blocked, as demonstrators also demanded the release of jailed activists, and autonomy for the opposition-led congress.<br /><br /> But all of the action, into its fourth week, is also fueled by a crippling economic crisis. <br /><br /> “We are tired. Young people are leaving the country, there is no future here: We don’t want more violence, more deaths because of this regime, which is a criminal regime,” said one protester.<br /><br /> “We want to get out of this. And the only way for us to put an end to all this is protesting on the street”.<br /><br /> At least 10 people have been killed in clashes this month between security forces and protesters. More have died during night-time looting.<br /><br /> The socialist government of Nicolas Maduro, who was seen playing baseball at the weekend, accuses protesters of seeking a violent coup. The opposition say he is a dictator, repressing peaceful protest.<br />
