A Venezuelan court on Thursday issued an arrest warrant for opposition politician Leopoldo Lopez given he violated a 2017 court-imposed order to remain under house arrest, according to a statement on the Supreme Court's website.

On Tuesday, Lopez left his Caracas home to appear alongside opposition leader Juan Guaido at a rally against President Nicolas Maduro. Later that day, he moved into the Spanish ambassador's residence in Caracas.
