LA PAZ: Bolivia’s former acting president Jeanine Anez was arrested Saturday on terrorism and sedition charges linked to the ousting of her predecessor and political rival Evo Morales. Anez, a former senator, took over as caretaker president after Morales left Bolivia. Several Morales allies who held senior posts also fled, leaving Anez the most senior Senate official still standing. Morales was himself the target of sedition and terrorism charges in an investigation opened shortly after Anez took power. It is a shame because Bolivia does not need dictators, it needs freedom and solutions,” Anez tweeted Friday.
