Fatal protests The revelation comes a day after the latest in a series of violent demonstrations which have added to the country`s rising death toll.
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets Wednesday to rally against President Nicolas Maduro`s government and demand new presidential elections and the release of jailed opposition politicians.
Meanwhile, government supporters organized their own rival demonstrations.
Three were killed in the protests, including a teenager in the capital Caracas and a woman in San Cristobal, who were shot dead.
A national guardsman was also killed south of Caracas.
Venezuela`s opposition leader Henrique Capriles has called for protestors to continue their plight at the "same time, same place" Thursday.
The latest fatalities bring the current death toll to at least eight, with many more injured.
Anti-government protestors argue that the country`s economic woes have led to further deaths still as citizens battle with escalating food, water and medical shortages.
