Juan Guaidó blir av med parlamentarisk immunitet
Venezuelas oppositionsledare Juan Guaidó fråntas sin parlamentariska immunitet, skriver internationella medier. Beslutet kommer efter ett beslut i landets högsta domstol och innebär att Guaidó skulle kunna gripas och åtalas.
Fler än 50 länder har erkänt Guaidó som Venezuelas legitima ledare sedan han i januari utropade sig till interimspresident och inledde en offensiv för att tvinga bort Nicolás Maduro från makten.
De senaste veckorna har dock regeringen slagit tillbaka hårt mot Guaidó, skriver The Guardian. Bland annat har Guaidós stabschef gripits.

Juan Gerardo Guaidó Márquez (Venezuelan Spanish pronunciation: [hwaŋ heˈɾaɾðo ɣwai̯ˈðo ˈmaɾ.kes] (listen); born 28 July 1983) is a Venezuelan politician who has been serving as President of the National Assembly of Venezuela and as the partially recognized acting President of Venezuela since January 2019. He is a member of the centrist social-democratic Popular Will party, and serves as a federal deputy to the National Assembly, representing the state of Vargas.
During the 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis, Guaidó took a public oath to serve as acting President of Venezuela, contesting the leadership of Nicolás Maduro. As of February 2019, his position on holding the acting presidency, based on an interpretation of Article 233 of the Constitution of Venezuela, has been recognized by more than 50 governments. The Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ) rejected the National Assembly decisions while the Supreme Tribunal of Justice of Venezuela in exile welcomed him as acting president.Shortly after Guaidó became President of the National Assembly, he was briefly detained by authorities. He has also been prohibited from leaving the country, has had his assets frozen, is the subject of a probe into accusations that he helped foreign countries interfere in internal matters, and faces threats and intimidation from the Maduro administration in Venezuela.
