Bolivia Supreme Court Orders Review of Detention for Political Prisoners Áñez, Camacho, and Pumari Amid Release Announcement; Peru Approves Amnesty Law

Bolivia's Supreme Court has directed the Departmental Courts of Justice to review the procedural deadlines concerning the preventive detention of political prisoners Jeanine Áñez, Luis Fernando Camacho, and Marco Pumari. This instruction aims to ensure compliance with legal time limits, potentially leading to their release. The Bolivian justice system has announced the release of these political prisoners, emphasizing that they should not have been imprisoned. Meanwhile, in Peru, the Congress approved an amnesty law that pardons police and military personnel accused of human rights violations, a move criticized by victims for potentially enabling impunity. Additionally, Peru's judiciary is set to evaluate an appeal by former President Martín Vizcarra against his preventive detention.
