The Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez meets this Wednesday one year in prison for crimes related to the protests last year that left a toll of destruction at the headquarters of the Prosecutor´s office, three dead and dozens injured.

For this reason, his wife Lilian Tintori wants to remember the date with a campaign that asks Venezuelans wear white during a concentration tomorrow in the same square of eastern Caracas in which Lopez gave a speech prior to be delivered to the authorities.

“A year ago Leopoldo confronted the regime and asked all of us to get dressed in white as a symbol of peace, this February 18, get dressed in white and show from that day through the window of your house a white handkerchief because we want freedom, justice, democracy,” Tintori said in a video posted on social networks.

It is anticipated that the act will be attended by his family, several political leaders and others who sympathize with the opposition.

Lopez is being held in the Ramo Verde military prison, along with the former mayor Daniel Ceballos, for his alleged responsibility in the violence unleashed six days earlier during an anti-govern march the previous year.
