AI Summary:
Maria Corina Machado is arrested after re-appearing in public for the first time in months a day before the third inauguration of President Nicolas Maduro. She has been in hiding in recent months, following a government crackdown on dissent in the wake of the contested July 28 presidential election. Alessandro Rampietti said Machado defied previous threats and attempts to detain her. “The government has repeatedly promised that they would arrest her if she tried to show up at one of these protests”. There was a relatively small turnout for Thursday’s protests as riot police were deployed in force.
