CARACAS — Venezuela's opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia on Saturday asked President Nicolas Maduro to end 'violence and persecution,' hours after the country's high court said its upcoming ruling on the disputed July 28 election cannot be appealed.

Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, who claims to have won the election by a wide margin, posted a social media video demanding Maduro allow free political expression.
