The decision drew quick rebuke from opposition leaders. They were met with plumes of tear gas that sent demonstrators running. Opposition leaders said one protester, Juan Pablo Pernalete Llover, 20, died after being struck by a canister of tear gas. Elsewhere, children were evacuated from a school after being exposed to tear gas. Maduro has called for renewed dialogue, but opposition leaders have discarded that as an option after earlier talks collapsed in December.
