Bolivian Court Rejects Camacho's Habeas Corpus Appeal Amidst Allegations of Political Pressure LA PAZ, BOLIVIA – In a significant development in the ongoing legal battle surrounding former governor Luis Fernando Camacho, a Bolivian court has rejected his writ of habeas corpus. Camacho remains imprisoned in Chonchocoro prison. The decision has sparked outrage among his supporters and raised concerns about political interference in the judicial process. Martin Camacho, the lawyer representing Luis Fernando Camacho, spoke out against what he described as blatant political pressure exerted on the court during the hearing. "The justice system is totally politicized," he stated, adding that threats were made against those involved in the case. The lawyer highlighted the urgency of the situation and the need for an impartial review of the case. The rejection of the habeas corpus petition means Camacho will remain in detention while the case is reviewed by the Constitutional Tribunal. This development is expected to fuel further political debate and scrutiny of the Bolivian judicial system. The Tribunal's decision will be closely watched by both supporters and critics of the government.
