Juan Pablo Guanipa, a leader of the opposition party Vente Venezuela and an ally of María Corina Machado, has been moved to house arrest at his son's home in Maracaibo, Zulia state, following a recent detention that lasted for 36 hours. His son, Ramón Guanipa, announced this development via a post on X, previously known as Twitter, confirming that his father is now at home but still under restrictive conditions.

In a message of gratitude, Ramón expressed appreciation to the U.S. government, specifically mentioning Donald Trump and Marco Rubio, for their support regarding the liberation of political prisoners in Venezuela. Despite being under house arrest, Ramón points out that his father remains unjustly imprisoned, calling for his complete freedom and the unconditional release of all political detainees in the country. This highlights the ongoing struggle for human rights and political freedom in Venezuela amid a repressive regime.

Guanipa's release from regular detention occurred just days before he was transferred to house arrest, during which he had been actively leading protests advocating for the freedom of political prisoners. His commitment to this cause continues to resonate amid the challenging political landscape of Venezuela, reflecting the persistent resistance against government oppression by opposition figures and their supporters.
