Overview
- Juan Pablo Guanipa is under house arrest in Maracaibo, his son said, calling it unjust and insisting he remains a political prisoner.
- Prosecutors said they asked a court to revoke his release for alleged noncompliance and to assign house arrest, without disclosing the conditions he purportedly violated.
- Guanipa had been freed Sunday after more than eight months in custody on charges including terrorism and money laundering tied to an alleged election plot, which he and allies deny.
- His family and opposition leader María Corina Machado said heavily armed men in civilian clothes seized him hours after his release, describing the incident as a kidnapping.
- Rights group Foro Penal reports hundreds have been freed since January and confirmed about 35 releases on Sunday, while authorities tout higher totals as lawmakers advance an amnesty bill.
