Venezuela’s AG orders arrest of opposition members, accuses them of plotting against referendum

Associated Press  

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela’s top prosecutor on Wednesday ordered the arrest of a dozen opposition members, including former National Assembly leader Juan Guaidó and three campaign staffers of presidential candidate Maria Corina Machado. President Nicolas Maduro’s government held the referendum to supposedly allow Venezuelans to decide the future of the oil- and mineral-rich Essequibo region of Guyana. Primary organizers said more than 2.4 million voters participated, a number that government officials declared mathematically impossible given the number of available voting centers and the time it would take a person to cast a paper ballot in the opposition election. Machado told reporters the lackluster turnout in the Essequibo referendum was “a monumental defeat” for Maduro’s government and called the actions against her campaign staffers “a big mistake.” “They are making a mistake, and they are not going to stop us,” she said.
