Caracas - Jailed Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez announced Tuesday he has ended a month long hunger strike, a day after the government set a date for legislative elections.

"Brothers and sisters, I ask you with heart in hand to embrace with humility the gains obtained with this protest, and that all of us end the hunger strike together," Lopez said in a letter read by his wife, Lilian Tintori.
