The death toll in anti-Government protests in Venezuela since April has reached 100, after a third death was reported from a day-long nationwide strike against embattled Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s rule, prosecutors said on Friday.

A 15-year-old boy was killed in skirmishes on the sidelines of Thursday’s national strike in the western state of Zulia, they said, without explaining the circumstances of his death.
