Bolivia: Jeanine Anez ‘stable’ after suicide attempt in jail

Bolivia’s ex-president tried to harm herself after prosecutors charged her with ‘genocide’ over the deaths of protesters in 2019.

Jailed former Bolivian President Jeanine Anez is in “stable” condition after she tried to kill herself when prosecutors charged her with “genocide” over the deaths of protesters in 2019, an official has said. “We can say, without a doubt, that her health is stable,” Juan Carlos Limpias, the director of prisons, told reporters on Sunday. “At the moment, she is with her family in the penitentiary. The family will be an important factor to help improve her state of mind,” he added.
