Chavez opponent leaves asylum at Vatican mission

A lawyer says that a former student who led street protests against Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has left the Vatican mission where he received political asylum last year.

Alonso Medina Roa says that his client Nixon Moreno left the Vatican mission on Sunday evening.

Moreno entered the mission on March 13, 2007, after prosecutors accused him of attempted rape during anti-Chavez protests.

The Vatican granted Moreno asylum, but Venezuela's government refused to grant him safe passage so he could leave the country.

Moreno has denied any wrongdoing, saying the accusations against him are politically motivated.

Medina Roa said on Monday that he does not know where Moreno is.
