Fear has cast a pall over the vast shantytown of Petare, a tangle of houses clinging to a hillside in eastern Caracas, where residents dread violent repression if they take part in opposition protests against Nicolas Maduro's disputed election win.
Twelve people, 11 civilians and one soldier, have already lost their lives in protests that erupted after Sunday's election result was announced. Many of those participating came from Petare, which is home to 650,000 people.
