CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan authorities released opposition lawmaker Edgar Zambrano from custody on Tuesday, four months after his arrest on treason charges, a move his allies said was a result of popular pressure, not a sign of goodwill from President Nicolas Maduro.
In a statement, the Supreme Court said a Caracas court with national jurisdiction had ordered Zambrano's "immediate freedom," but added that his case remains open. He would need to report to a judge every 30 days and would be barred from leaving the country, it said.
