After a blockade, burning of tents and violent actions at the door of the Miraflores prison by groups related to the Movimiento Al Socialismo (MAS) to prevent the departure of former president Jeanine Áñez to a hospital, yesterday the Departmental Court of Justice of La Paz backed down and decided that the former president should receive medical attention inside the prison.
Hours before, the judge of that court, Franklin Siñani, ordered the "immediate departure" of Áñez from prison to a hospital, due to her serious health condition after 10 days of hunger strike.
The second judicial order was issued after the governor of the Miraflores prison issued a report in which she stated that it is impossible for Áñez to leave the prison to a medical center in La Paz, as ordered by the La Paz justice system, because there are groups in confrontation outside the prison.
Meanwhile, the daughter of the ex-president, Carolina Ribera, after being attacked by groups of "masistas" and being expelled from the prison where she was accompanying her mother, announced that she will go on hunger strike in protest for the humiliations suffered and in solidarity with her mother.
"My mother is alone and faint, harassed by the governor of the prison who prevents her transfer to the hospital, as ordered by the judge! They beat me out of the prison, hordes of officials push my mother's lawyer and I. Thugs!" declared Ribera, visibly affected after leaving the prison.
Yesterday afternoon, the Departmental Court of Justice of La Paz issued an order instructing the Governor of the Miraflores women's prison to take the necessary measures to provide medical attention to former president Jeanine Áñez, even if she is against it, with the participation of doctors from the Hospital de Clínicas.
Violence
After the judicial decision for the ex-president to be taken from the Miraflores prison to the Hospital de Clínicas, groups of MAS supporters gathered at the prison gates to prevent the ex-president's departure and burned the tent where Áñez's followers were holding a vigil. Carolina Ribera, her daughter, ran out.
Judge Franklin Siñani ordered the intervention of the hunger strike that SE installed 10 days ago, since last February 9.
In the resolution, the judge said that in view of the refusal of the former president to be treated, the governor of the Miraflores prison, Estefani Cervantes, must inform the director of the hospital of clinics to send the necessary medical personnel and equipment.
After the riots that took place at noon, the daughter of the former president denounced that she was assaulted by the prison police and that Cervantes assured that her mother was not going to be transferred to the hospital.
Against Arce
Meanwhile, Alain Canedo and Norka Cuéllar, Áñez's defense attorneys, held President Luis Arce responsible for the life of the former president, since the Executive Branch, through the Ministry of Government, is the entity in charge of enforcing judicial orders, an aspect that is not seen in this case.
Canedo explained that the Penal Code orders deprivation of liberty between two to six years for the person who does not comply with a release action. Cervantes would be directly responsible.
Government supporters again exercise violence
After the eviction, destruction and burning of the tent installed in front of the Miraflores prison, Carolina Ribera, daughter of the former president Jeanine Áñez, condemned the aggressions of groups that yesterday prevented the exit of the former president of Bolivia from the Miraflores prison to a hospital and told them: "The abuse that my mother and my family are receiving, tomorrow you will receive it". Shortly after 2:30 p.m., people who identified themselves as Senkata's victims and who are supporters of the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) destroyed the tent and burned it. In the meantime, Ribera had to run and scream to avoid being assaulted and broke down in tears.
"The abuse that my mother is suffering, the abuse that my family is suffering, you are going to suffer, you are going to suffer this abuse, you are going to suffer this violence," she said.
He pointed out that the governor of the Miraflores prison opposed the transfer of Áñez to a hospital center and violated the court order.
"She went on a rampage with me and my mother. That is my desperation, that is my concern. My mother this morning suffered three nervous breakdowns. My mother is being killed in front of me," Ribera said and broke down in tears again.
Añez has been on hunger strike for 10 days, a measure he decided to take in protest against the beginning of the oral trial against him in the Coup d'Etat II case.
Camacho says it is an "act of torture".
Meanwhile, the governor of Santa Cruz, Luis Fernando Camacho, denounced that the Movement Towards Socialism is applying a "clear form of torture", after learning that former president Jeanine Áñez will not be transferred to a hospital center after suffering the consequences of her hunger strike.
"It is clear that what justice dictates is not being respected, the MAS is applying a clear form of torture by preventing Jeanine Áñez from receiving the health care she needs. This looks like a dictatorship, the fundamental rights of political prisoners are not respected," she wrote on social networks.
