CARACAS, Venezuela — Close to 14,000 people were murdered in Venezuela last year and the figure could be significantly higher, Provea, a prominent human-rights group said Thursday, alluding to the rampant crime that has become a central concern of Venezuelans.

Venezuela has one of Latin America’s highest murder rates, and the government has stopped releasing complete annual figures, making arriving at an exact figure difficult.
