Venezuelan opposition leaders Leopoldo Lopez and Antonio Ledizma were taken from their home, where they were under house arrest, family members said in twitter on Tuesday.
The wife of Lopez and the daughter of Lidizma accused President Nicolas Maduro of ordering their detention and bearing responsibility for their fate.
On the other hand, a Venezuelan opposition leader Miranda Governor Henrik Caprilez said on Monday that the government nearly tripled the number of people who voted in the National Constituent Assembly elections.
President Nicolas Maduro has called for the elections of the National Constituent Assembly, but the opposition, which sought by all means and ways to disrupt these elections and prevent them, announced that they do not recognize them and their results, pointing out that the call must be made through a referendum.
The election took place in a climate of mass protests that led to loss of life, with at least 10 people killed on Sunday in protest, according to the Attorney General of Venezuela.
"Yesterday (Sunday), the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, despite using all its resources, the country's infrastructure and abuses, could not mobilize more than one million people," Miranda Governor Miranda Kabrilez said in a speech to the nation, broadcast via social networks. 3 million people to participate in the elections, but what they did after that? They doubled this number three, and Tibisay Lucina (President of the National Electoral Council) went out to tell the country the outcome, "he said.
According to Capriles, the authorities' announcement that the number of participants was more than 8 million was false. In less than two years, the authorities lost about 3 million of the 5 supporters who supported it.
Capriles called on his supporters not to succumb to pessimism and stressed that he would continue to fight for freedom, democracy and progress in the country. "The battle did not begin with this call for these fraudulent elections, and we have come to the streets since April 1 with a clear and specific agenda," he said.
The opposition has been calling on supporters since early April to take to the streets to protest against the authorities' actions. According to recent reports confirmed by the Attorney General, as a result of these protests, more than 120 people fell. Before the vote on Sunday, the Interior Ministry banned protests under the threat of long prison sentences for violators, but this did not prevent Maduro's opponents from blocking roads to voters.
