[Bacchus4.0]

With almost 28,000 murders in 2013, Venezuela is now considered one of the most dangerous countries in the world, despite government attempts to crack down on crime.

On Wednesday hundreds of Venezuelans gathered in the capital Caracas to protest against the wave of violence. Among them the actress Elba Escobar, who called on the government to act: "The power to solve this is with them. They have to do it. They have to do it now."

Violent crime soared during the 14-year rule of Hugo Chavez, who died of cancer in 2013.

Venezuelans, despite being plagued by shortages of food and other goods, list crime as their most pressing worry.
