Venezuela Cracks Down on Opposition: Arrests and Treason Warrants Issued

Venezuela has arrested an opposition member for alleged treason and issued arrest warrants for several staffers connected to the campaign of opposition presidential nominee Maria Corina Machado. The attorney general accused them of crimes including treason, conspiracy, and money laundering. The arrests and warrants are related to their alleged involvement in "destabilizing and conspiratorial actions" against a recent referendum vote over a territorial dispute with Guyana. Machado and her party have denied the allegations and expressed support for the arrested individuals.
