CARACAS: Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado on Monday said one of her closest allies was kidnapped hours after being released from prison. The government had released several prominent opposition members from prison Sunday after lengthy politically motivated detentions. Machado said on social media that Juan Pablo Guanipa was taken around midnight in a residential neighborhood of the capital, Caracas. “Heavily armed men, dressed in civilian clothes, arrived in four vehicles and violently took him away,” she posted on X.
