Two of the closest collaborators of Venezuelan opposition presidential hopeful María Corina Machado were arrested for allegedly being linked to a supposed plan to generate street violence in the country and to attempt on President Nicolás Maduro's life, reported the Prosecutor's Office this Wednesday.
These arrests occurred amidst Maduro's government escalating its use of "violent repression," as the presidential election, scheduled for July 28th, approaches.This warning stems from the United Nations' International Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Venezuela (FFM), which delivered an oral update on the country's situation to the organization's Human Rights Council.
