In this Monday Oct. 31, 2011 photo, Venezuelan Judge Maria Lourdes Afiuni sits in her apartment while under house arrest in Caracas, Venezuela. Afiuni infuriated President Hugo Chavez when she ordered the release of an imprisoned banker who was charged with flouting the country's currency exchange controls.
