iReporter Alejandro Hernández (@alepuro) showcases the crowd in Caracas, Venezuela for opposition leader Leopoldo López, who turned himself in to authorities on Tuesday. Human rights groups warn about the danger of turning the protests into a persecution of political opponents. Human Rights Watch weighed in too, warning that Venezuela must avoid "scapegoating" political opponents. But the way forward seemed set, with Lopez expected to appear in court Wednesday.
Charges against him include murder, terrorism and arson in connection with the protests, according to his party, Popular Will.

The charges against Lopez, who has organized protests demanding better security, an end to shortages and protected freedom of speech, "smack of a politically motivated attempt to silence dissent in the country," Amnesty International said in a statement. Lopez denies the accusations, the party said in a statement, which also asked witnesses of the protests to send their own accounts of what happened to be used in his defense. "The last thing he said to me was for me to not forget what he is going through," his wife, Lilian Tintori de Lopez, said in an interview with CNN en Español. "Not forget that he is arrested for things that he has asked for: the liberation of political prisoners, liberation of students, no more oppression, no more violence." A CNN crew covering the anti-government demonstrations had its equipment taken away at gunpoint Tuesday -- but the journalists were unharmed. The incident took place in a neighborhood in Caracas where the CNN crew was preparing to film and the National Guard was present. About 20 men on motorbikes rode toward a crowd of anti-government protesters when they noticed the journalists and approached them, brandishing several guns. They demanded that the crew hand over its equipment, including a camera and broadcasting gear.
