“For the health and life of my mother, for the injustice of this preventive detention” is that “I ask you, I beg you” to “intercede with the Bolivian Government to grant the conditions of care, guarantee a healthy and free life of physical and psychological torture ”, indicates Ribera in the letter.

Áñez’s daughter also denounces that her mother “is isolated from all necessary attention to her delicate health, considering that her basic illness is compounded by the unjust confinement of 282 days, the constant psychological aggression to demolish her emotionally.”

During the more than nine months that Áñez has been in preventive detention, he has suffered from various health problems such as a hypertension crisis, even on one occasion he injured himself an arm stating that he no longer wanted to live.

In the letter, Ribera also refers to the “State terrorism exercised against her (Áñez) with false, lying and systematic syndications, typical of totalitarianism, coming from the Ministry of Government, the Prosecutor’s Office, the Ministry of Justice, the Attorney General’s Office and other departments, that find an echo in judges who respond to political pressure rather than to the application of Justice ”.

Last week Áñez denounced that she is a victim of “psychological torture” after an incident with the director of the prison where she is being held.

Ribera also reported that in a hearing that was held this Monday in which the defense of the former interim president asked for the cessation of preventive detention, Áñez “no longer wanted to defend himself because he feels that his physical strength is lacking” and that “he prefers to die.” before condemning their children “to continue suffering” from this situation.

At that hearing, the First Sentencing Court denied Áñez’s request for freedom due to “risk of flight” and “obstruction” of the process.

In that sense, Carolina Ribera invited Bachelet to “learn about the conditions in which she is” Áñez, taking advantage of the fact that the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights is in Chile.

Ribera warned that “Jeanine Áñez has been confined for a month with the excuse of the covid. The Miraflores prison is the only one in the country that maintains this measure ”.

“They hold an innocent and lonely woman as a political prisoner,” he says.

In the middle of this year Áñez had requested in a letter a hearing of his daughter with Bachelet.

Áñez was pre-emptively detained last March in the case called “coup d’état” accused of sedition, terrorism and conspiracy, a process in which a four-month detention was initially set and later extended to six.

Later, another case was opened to her, “coup d’état II”, in which she is accused of non-compliance with duties and resolutions against the Constitution and for which she was ordered six more months of preventive detention.

The Government of Luis Arce considers that Áñez came to power in 2019 through a “coup d’état” and not by Constitutional succession in her capacity as second president of the Senate after the resignation of Evo Morales to the Presidency and the massive resignation of the authorities in the line of succession.
