Venezuela Issues Arrest Warrant for Opposition Leader

Venezuela's attorney general issued an arrest warrant for opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez after he failed to respond to summons regarding an opposition website that allegedly published detailed results of the disputed presidential election. The website is under investigation for overstepping its bounds by acting as an electoral authority.

Venezuela's attorney general's office has issued an arrest warrant for opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez. The warrant follows Gonzalez's failure to respond to three summonses to testify about an opposition-run website that released detailed results of the country's contested presidential election.

The investigation targets the website for allegedly "usurping the function" of the electoral authority. The electoral body claims President Nicolas Maduro won the July 28 election but has yet to release detailed results.

This development is the latest in the ongoing political turmoil in Venezuela, raising questions about the transparency and legitimacy of the electoral process.
