The International Criminal Court (ICC) said its prosecutors are “actively monitoring” events in Venezuela in the aftermath of a disputed presidential election.

About 2,000 people have been arrested by security forces for demonstrating against President Nicolás Maduro after he was declared to have won a third term in the July 28 election.
