Members of assembly loyal to Venezuelan President Maduro strip Juan Guaido of immunity, paving way for opposition leader's possible arrest.
Juan Guaido, President of National Assembly and self-proclaimed interim president waves to the gallery during a session of the National Assembly in Caracas, Venezuela, Tuesday, April 2, 2019. Venezuela's chief justice on Monday asked lawmakers of the rival pro-government National Constituent Assembly to strip Guaido of his parliamentary immunity, taking a step toward prosecuting him for alleged crimes as he seeks to oust President Nicolas Maduro.
He declared himself Venezuela’s interim president in January, and vowed to overthrow Maduro. So far, however, Maduro has avoided jailing the man that the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump and roughly 50 other nations recognize as Venezuela’s legitimate leader. The Constituent Assembly met a day after Maduro ally and Venezuela Supreme Court of Justice Maikel Moreno ordered the legislative body to strip Guaido’s immunity for violating an order banning him leaving the country while under investigation by the attorney general. The opposition leader is also accused of inciting violence linked to street protests, and of receiving illicit funds from abroad.
