Venezuela: Líder de la oposición Machado detenido temporalmente durante una manifestación.

La oposición de Venezuela informa que su líder, María Corina Machado, fue arrestada brevemente y luego liberada tras dirigirse a una manifestación en la víspera de la controvertida investidura del presidente Nicolás Maduro.

Machado, 57, was "violently intercepted" in eastern Caracas and the motorcycle convoy in which she was riding was shot at, the opposition said, adding that she was forced to record several videos while being held.

Venezuela's information minister Freddy Nanez dismissed reports of Machado's detention as a "media distraction".
