An opposition supporter carries a sign reading: "No to the disqualified, yes to the Constitution" during a protest in the streets of Caracas August 6, 2008. The demonstrators are protesting against the Supreme Court's ruling on Tuesday that bars dozens of politicians, among them leading opponents of President Hugo Chavez, from running in regional elections later this year. Venezuela's top anti-corruption official was behind the plan to ban close to 300 candidates accused of corruption from running in the elections. REUTERS/Edwin Montilva (VENEZUELA)
