Sister of imprisoned Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez

As Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez marks the anniversary of his imprisonment, join the CSIS Americas Program and the Center for the Study of American Democracy at Kenyon College for a discussion with Adriana Lopez, Leopoldo's sister. Ms. Lopez will provide her commentary on the country's political situation, the events leading up to her brother's arrest in February of last year - as well as recent developments during his imprisonment - and what can be expected in Venezuela moving forward.

Adriana Lopez's commentary will provide an important perspective on a country undergoing difficult social, political, and economic changes.
