The former interim president of Bolivia Jeanine Áñez this Monday he served nine months of preventive detention in a prison in La Paz, which in his opinion is a “political prison “, while his daughter will also report to the international community the situation of a former civic leader arrested this past weekend.

A message spread on social networks by relatives of the ex-president recalled that Áñez He is serving nine months in preventive detention, which was described as a “Political persecution” and one “Violation of their human rights.”

• Bolivian Prosecutor’s Office presents a formal accusation against Jeanine Áñez
• The largest Bolivian region sets circulation restrictions due to the fourth wave of the coronavirus
• Bolivian opposition maintains unemployment despite the fact that Arce decided to repeal controversial law

“There are 275 days in political prison. They accuse her of terrorism, sedition and conspiracy, without evidentiary facts ”, indicates part of the message that expresses that “Protests” in 2019 they arose against the “electoral fraud of Evo Morales and accomplices”.

“There will be no jails for so much injustice, but the truth will never be imprisoned,” ends the message that is accompanied by tags such as #liberenaJeanine # liberenalosPresosPolíticos.

In that sense, Carolina Ribera, daughter of Áñez, also spoke on social networks indicating that it is nine months that “they kidnapped“To his mother “In an arrogant and violent manner, without prior summons, without respecting their human rights.”

Áñez She is in the Miraflores women’s prison in La Paz where she was initially detained for the case called “coup d’état” due to events of the political and social crisis of 2019 under accusations of sedition, conspiracy and terrorism.

However, the Ministry of Justice indicated that his detention is for the case called “Coup II” in which she is accused of breach of duties and resolutions contrary to the Constitution.

The former temporary president was imprisoned on a preventive basis on March 13, initially for four months, later the term was extended to six and then another six months were added for the case of “coup d’état II”.

At the end of November, the Prosecutor’s Office presented a formal accusation against Áñez for those crimes in the framework of that second process.

Áñez affirmed in a recent hearing for the cessation of her detention that the Government of Luis Arce “lied” in a meeting of the UN Committee Against Torture (CAT) last November, in which it asserted that she was not in prison for crimes such as sedition or terrorism.

At that meeting, the CAT rapporteur, Claude Heller, observed the application of the accusations of sedition and terrorism that both the interim government of Áñez as of the current Arce Administration and that it also considered “fundamental” to face a judicial reform and review the application of these criminal offenses.

The Bolivian Government considers that Áñez came to power through a “coup” in the crisis of 2019 in which Evo Morales resigned from the Presidency, while the opposition argues that it was a succession after the resignation of the authorities in line of succession.

COMPLAINT TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

Ribera said that he will go to the international community to human rights organizations and the European Parliament to make known the situation of the former civic leader of Potosí, Marco Antonio Pumari, who was detained in preventive custody this weekend for the investigation in which he is accused of the burning of a departmental electoral court in 2019.

“What they did to Marco Pumari is the same thing they did to my mother, they kidnapped her, they took her out of her house in an abusive operation of thousands of policemen (…) and they took him away to put her in jail and thus isolate her to silence his voice “Ribera remarked.

The daughter of Áñez indicated that what is happening in Bolivia is a copy of what is happening in countries such as Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela “Where they kidnap people who think differently.”

The Bolivian Justice determined over the weekend the preventive detention of Pumari in the Uncía prison in the northern highland department of Potosí for six months in the framework of the investigation into the burning of an electoral court and damage to a police patrol.

After this fact, the Potosinista Civic Committee (Concipo) determined to hold a town hall and a march on Tuesday in support of the former civic leader who was also a candidate for the Vice Presidency.
