The Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has accused Nicolás Maduro’s regime of “kidnapping” one of her key allies as protesters took to the streets to mark one month since the allegedly stolen presidential election, and as a cabinet reshuffle left government opponents fearing an upsurge in repression.
Activists say more than 1,600 people have been detained during the post-election crackdown ordered by Venezuela’s authoritarian president.
