Interior Minister Arturo Murillo calls Morales' orders to maintain city roadblocks a 'crime against humanity'. FMTNews
LA PAZ: Bolivia’s caretaker government on Friday filed a complaint accusing Evo Morales of “sedition and terrorism” after the ex-president allegedly called on supporters to maintain blockades in the crisis-hit country.
If Morales – who fled to Mexico after resigning on Nov 10 – were charged and convicted, he would face a maximum penalty of 30 years in jail. At least 32 people have been killed since the election, including 17 in clashes with security forces as anti-government protesters block main roads.Morales has accused Bolivian security forces of engaging in “genocide” against his indigenous supporters, and called for action by the international community.
Bolivia has lodged a formal protest to Mexico over Morales’s remarks, saying they “contravened” his political asylum status, the foreign ministry said Thursday. Right-wing Senate speaker Jeanine Anez, who declared herself interim leader after Morales quit, on Friday called on anti-government protesters to “let us govern” and lift the roadblocks around La Paz.
