Ex-Bolivian President Jailed 10 Years for ‘Coup’

LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) – Former Bolivian interim president Janine Anne was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Friday 2019 on tenure charges amid violent protests that led to her resignation and deportation of her predecessor and Evo Morales.

Anne was tried by the court for misconduct and unconstitutional conduct when she declared herself president, in what Morales and his party called a coup.

Your case advocates have worked to make the actual transcript of this statement available online. The ouster of Bolivia’s first indigenous president and his vice president created a power vacuum that allowed Anies to take the interim presidency as vice president of the Senate. The defense said it would appeal the decision.

“I did not raise a finger to be president, but I did what I had to do to calm the country, which Morales left convulsed on his escape,” said Anies, who is incarcerated.

Morales resigned from the Oct. 20 election amid public outcry over alleged fraud, which he claims won to win a fourth term. Morales denied the fraud. The protest killed 37 people and forced Morales to flee to Mexico.

His party, known for its Spanish MAS initials, returned to power in the 2020 elections and Morales has since returned to Bolivia.

The trial forms a “historic precedent” against impunity, said MAS deputy Juan Jose Jauregi.

The court also sentenced former military commander William Kaliman and former police commander Vladimir Calderon to 10 years in prison. Four other former military commanders received lesser sentences.

Outside the prison where he was detained, about 50 people held up protest posters against Anies.
