In his Facebook profile, the minister noted that “in simple terms” what the former senator did was to proclaim herself in the presence of the media and diplomatic representatives, “without complying with the formalities established in the Constitution and the law.”
Along with Áñez, another ten people will be prosecuted, including former commanders and members of the Bolivian Armed Forces and Police, accused of breach of duties and violating the Constitution.
This case is what the press calls Coup d’état II, because Coup d’état I is the one that investigates the involvement of these same defendants and other suspects in crimes of sedition, conspiracy and terrorism, during the political crisis of November 2019 that caused the exit from power – and later the exile – of former president Evo Morales of the country.
Áñez has been in preventive detention since March 15, 2021, and since she entered the Miraflores prison, she and her family reported abuse, neglect of her health and even a suicide attempt.
In October 2021, Áñez’s defense suffered a setback when the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) rejected a request for precautionary measures because it considered that the Bolivian State was ensuring the health of the detainee.
