Venezuelan Opposition Leader María Corina Machado Arrested in Caracas

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado was arrested on Thursday after leading a protest against President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas. Reports state that Machado was “violently intercepted” by regime forces as she left the rally, with shots fired at her motorcycle convoy. This protest was part of a larger opposition effort to contest Maduro’s claim to a third presidential term, amid allegations of election fraud.
