"You're a piece of s--t, a fascist who abuses women, I dare you to come to Chile...coward!" This Twitter post by Jorge Traud, who is a Chilean legislator, sparked outrage toward the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, as per Remezcla.

The tweet is in reference to the fact that Leopoldo Lopez's wife, Lilian Tinori, and his mother were asked to strip naked by the Venezuelan authorities in front of Tinori's children before they were allowed to see her husband as per Telegraph's report.

Tintori then added that she was subjected to an "intimate search" wherein she was requested to remove all her clothes upon entering the Ramo Verde military prison as Tintori and her mother-in-law went to visit Lopez along with the couple's children Manuela and Leopoldo Santiago.

Tintori then posted the embarrassing experience on Twitter, which caused a heated tension and sparked anger between Lopez's supporters and the Venezuelan government headed by President Nicolas Maduro.

In her tweet, she stated, "Yesterday in Ramo Verde they put me in a room, took away all my clothes, my bra, my sanitary towels."

She posted three consecutive tweets narrating the harassment she and her mother-in-law went through, saying, "Totally naked they made me open my legs various times."

She then added, "They did the same to Leopoldo's mother, but in the room when the children were with her. Manuela and Leopoldo Santiago saw everything."

Leopoldo Lopez was arrested for stirring up a coup against the Venezuelan government. The majority believed that he was used as a "scapegoat" by the Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro. As per New York Times, his arrest was a clear example of Nicolas Maduro's desperation.

Maduro is being blamed for the Venezuelan economy's downfall. As per reports, he drove the country into a "severe economic crisis" leading to ongoing problems such as currency devaluation and food shortages.

As per NY Times, instead of addressing the country's economic crisis he stirred up fights towards Colombia and Guyana to take away the blame that's being pinpointed towards his direction.

Lopez was sentenced to 14 years in prison, but he willingly surrendered himself to the authorities. When he was eventually handcuffed by the police, he stated, "These handcuffs will be removed by the Venezuelan people."

In addition to President's Maduro's lapses, CNN reported that two of the president's relatives, Efrain Antonio Campo Flores, 29, and Franqui Francisco Flores de Freitas, 30, were arrested in the United States for drug trafficking.
