Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Pablo Guanipa was abducted minutes after being released from prison, according to witnesses and political figures. Armed masked men intercepted his car on a Caracas street and forced him into another vehicle, disappearing shortly after the government had announced his freedom. Opposition figure María Corina Machado confirmed the kidnapping and demanded his immediate and unconditional release, calling the act a state crime.

Rights organizations warn the incident signals a new wave of intimidation despite official claims of political prisoner liberations. Foro Penal says 383 detainees have been freed since January, yet many remain under surveillance. Guanipa had spent nine months jailed after months in hiding over alleged terrorism charges.
