Anti-government protesters blame President Nicolas Maduro and his government for the high murder rate that reached 24,763 in 2013.
On Tuesday, thousands of Maduro followers came out in support of their president.
Lopez is being charged for inciting crowds and violence during the past few days.
Lopez in a video release claims, Maduro's allegations are false and denies any involvement with inciting violence during the anti-government protests.
