Bolivian authorities have arrested opposition leaders Ramiro Cucho and Humberto Claros, linked to former President Evo Morales, on terrorism charges. They are accused of inciting uprisings and were taken to La Paz for investigation.
Police also searched the home of ex-Minister Juan Ramon Quintana but did not arrest him. He is under investigation for alleged terrorism-related activities.
Evo Morales and other opposition leaders condemned the arrests as “repression” and “political kidnapping,” claiming it violates the right to protest.
Recent opposition protests blocked roads for 24 days, causing significant economic losses. Police estimate the damages in the millions.
The arrests highlight deep political tensions in Bolivia, with critics accusing the government of silencing dissent.
