The Venezuelan opposition claims the leader was briefly detained during protests in Caracas

Venezuela’s opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was briefly detained by security forces on Thursday after emerging from months in hiding to lead a protest in Caracas, defiantly vowing upon her release that her country “will be free!”. The protests were directed against President Nicolas Maduro, who is scheduled to be sworn in on Friday for a third six-year term despite disputed elections.
