The military in Venezuela has admitted it committed "some excesses" during weeks of political unrest that have left more than 40 people dead.

The military's strategic command chief, Vladimir Padrino, said they were investigating 97 officers and police staff for "cruelty and torture".

But the general stressed these were less than 1% of all officers.

Security forces have been accused of human rights abuse during the almost daily anti-government protests.

peppered throughout the GNB?
