CARACAS (Reuters) - Photographer Marco Bello has covered many violent scenes during seven weeks of anti-government protests in Venezuela, but he witnessed a particularly shocking incident at the weekend when a crowd set a man on fire.

Tens of thousands of demonstrators opposed to President Nicolas Maduro's socialist government had been marching down a highway, and when security forces blocked their way, the rally descended into clashes around east Caracas.
