CARACAS, Venezuela (CNN) — A student who led protests against Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has left the Vatican mission where he had been holed up for nearly two years, his lawyer said Monday.

Nixon Moreno had entered the nunciature in Caracas on March 13, 2007, seeking refugee status, lawyer Tamara Suju told CNN affiliate Globovision.

His whereabouts Monday were not clear.

Moreno sought refuge in the center after being accused of the attempted rape of a police functionary and the wounding of several police officers during an anti-government protest in 2006.

1. Why isn't this headline "Fugitive rape suspect leaves hideout"?
