Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro released Freddy Guevara, an opposition leader who had been jailed for more than a month, so that he can act as a negotiator in political talks set to start next month.
A top ally of Juan Guaido, Guevara was freed late Sunday from the Caracas headquarters of the police intelligence unit known as Sebin.
