Priest José Palmar was beaten with a blunt object by officers of the Zulia state police and the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) as he tried to prevent an attack on students who were demonstrating at the Ombudsman's Office in Maracaibo, Zulia state, northwest Venezuela.

Opposition deputy William Barrientos and some other dissenting leaders and students helped him. He suffered severe injuries and was taken to a healthcare center.
