Machado has continued to push for protests against the Maduro government, which has reportedly ordered her arrest (BBC, CNN, MercoPress, El País). The duration of a detention or arrest is immaterial so long as Machado is in the custody (i.e., being physically held or controlled) of Venezuelan authorities for some period of time. An attempt to detain or arrest Machado that results in Machado's death will count.
