Juan Guaido, Venezuela’s opposition leader, was detained by secret police officers and released shortly afterward on a frenetic Sunday morning that highlights the nation’s tenuous political state.
Guaido was en route to a rally outside Caracas when his vehicle was intercepted, according to a video disseminated by members of his party and other opposition leaders. The 35-year-old head of Venezuela’s National Assembly was released a few minutes later.
