‘Solidarity with the Cuban people’s revolution is our overriding priority,’ international secretary KEVAN NELSON told the Communist Party’s political committee on Wednesday
LAST week, June 15 2022, the court gave a full reading of the sentence to 10 years in prison to Jeanine Anez and other co-defendants, in the case of Coup d’etat II, for resolutions contrary to the State Constitution and breach of duties in November 2019.
The legal system caught up to Anez and some of her co-defendants and due process has been exercised.
Even within its limitations, the Bolivian justice system has made an important step with this trial. It is not enough but it is a step forward in the fight against impunity. And the outcome must be defended against the far right that seeks to undermine the verdict, calling for international organisations “to certify that there was no coup.”
