Bolivian rights activist slams ‘hypocrisy’ of US over Anez case
Bolivia's former interim President Jeanine Anez speaks to an unidentified woman at a police station jailhouse, in La Paz, Bolivia

BOLIVIAN activists accused the United States of hypocrisy today after Secretary of State Antony Blinken raised “human rights concerns” over the arrest of coup president Jeanine Anez.

Mr Blinken accused the elected Bolivian government of “anti-democratic behaviour” for prosecuting Ms Anez and other ministers in the government installed by the 2019 US-backed military coup for the massacres of protesters they ordered.

Miriam Amancay Colque of the Bartolina Sisa Resistance said the US complained of far-right white supremacists storming the Capitol in Washington but supported their counterparts in Bolivia.
