National Assembly chief Juan Guaido was held by intelligence agents on the way to a political rally, before being released. The opposition leader has declared President Nicolas Maduro's second term to be illegitimate.
The head of Venezuela's opposition-controlled congress was pulled from his car and briefly detained on Sunday after he stepped up a campaign to oust the country's unpopular president Nicolas Maduro.
