Aug 31, 2025
Sucre [Bolivia], August 31: Right-wing Bolivian opposition leader Luis Fernando Camacho has been released from jail after spending nearly three years in pretrial detention for his role in unrest that led to the 2019 ouster of then left-wing President Evo Morales.
As the political right's momentum accelerates ahead of a presidential election run-off in October, Camacho returned to a hero's welcome in the eastern province of Santa Cruz after his release on Friday from a maximum-security prison near La Paz. Thousands of supporters waved the city's green and white flags as he walked down an avenue to the main square. (Agencies)
