A politician stripped down to his underwear inside his country's parliament in a desperate bid to protest against the arrest of one of his colleagues.
Venezuelan congressman Gilber Caro took off his clothes in the National Assembly in a show of solidarity with legislator Juan Requesens, 29.
The gesture comes after a video was shared online of Mr Requesens in deplorable conditions and dressed only in underwear sparking fury over human rights violations.
Mr Caro was giving a speech in parliament in front of the whole assembly when he started to strip off his clothes.
Video footage shows the man taking off his shirt and his trousers whilst passionately shouting into the microphone, amid applause from fellow politicians.
