Bolivia Moves Toward New Elections that Would Bar Evo Morales from Running
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bolivia's self-appointed leader Jeanine Aņez has signed legislation
paving the way for a new round of presidential elections that would bar
President Evo Morales from running, after Morales was ousted in what he
describes as a military coup. Aņez's new interior minister has
threatened Morales with life imprisonment if he returns to Bolivia.
Morales is currently in exile in Mexico. Since Morales's ouster, the
Bolivian military has carried out at least two massacres of his
supporters.
