At least 40 Venezuelans have been killed in recent protests

(CNN)The United Nations Human Rights Office says at least 40 Venezuelans have died in recent protests over the power struggle between President Nicolas Maduro and self-appointed interim president Juan Guaidó.

CNN cannot independently verify the death toll and no official figures have been released by Maduro’s government.
Earlier on Tuesday, the United Nations Human Rights Council said 850 people have been detained since January 23, the day Guaidó declared himself president amid anti-government protests.
