Former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe (2002-2010) called on Saturday for an international intervention in Venezuela, endorsed by the United Nations, to remove Chavista leader Nicolás Maduro from power after his inauguration on Friday.

The UN Human Rights Chief said he was concerned by reports of intimidation ahead of planned protests.

The opposition says María Corina Machado was then freed on the eve of President Nicolás Maduro's inauguration.

UN chief Antonio Guterres called Friday for Venezuelan authorities to release all who have been "arbitrarily detained" since the country's disputed July election, as President Nicolas Maduro was sworn in amid opposition and international outcry.

Venezuela’s foreign minister on Monday accused opponents of President Nicolás Maduro as being linked to damages at the country’s diplomatic facilities in five nations.

The free-speech advocate was among several activists detained ahead of President Nicolas Maduro’s swearing-in last week.

The UN voiced alarm Thursday at reports of arbitrary detentions and intimidation of opponents of Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro ahead of his inauguration for a highly-contested third term.
