Tens of thousands took to the streets of at least four Bolivian cities on Monday night to protest against the detention of conservative former President Jeanine Anez, who was charged with fomenting a coup that led to the overthrow of longtime left-wing leader Evo Morales.
Local media reported that protesters gathered in the cities of La Paz, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz and Trinidad to denounce the arrest of Anez and that of two of her former cabinet members on Saturday.
Footage circulating on social media from Santa Cruz, a stronghold of right-wing support in Bolivia, showed thousands of people gathered in the city’s main square waving flags and chanting “Freedom, freedom!”
