Venezuela rearrests opposition figure Guanipa after release

Venezuela’s public prosecutor’s office has placed opposition figure Juan Pablo Guanipa under house arrest, citing non-compliance with release terms related to a “terrorist” plot. Guanipa, an ally of Maria Corina Machado, was rearrested shortly after his initial release, sparking outcry from his son and allies who called it an “abduction”. The government, under interim president Delcy Rodriguez, has released hundreds of political prisoners since the US-led abduction of President Nicolas Maduro, leading to tensions between the opposition and the current administration over human rights abuses and political repression.
