Latin America and Caribbean in Review is a monthly gallery featuring some of the top photojournalism made by AP staff photographers and freelancers during the month of May. 

The month of May saw continued anti-government protests in Nicaragua, where 110 people have been killed since mid-April amid clashes between forces loyal to President Daniel Ortega and opposition groups demanding his removal; Venezuela and Colombia held presidential elections, with Venezuela’s being boycotted by the opposition who called it rigged; and over 100 people lost their lives in Cuba when a plane crashed after takeoff from the Havana airport.

Curated by photo editors for Latin America and Caribbean Leslie Mazoch, Anita Baca and Tomas Stargardter at the AP Latin America photo editing hub in Mexico City.
