LA PAZ, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Former Bolivian President Jeanine Anez was briefly taken to a hospital from jail on Wednesday, her third hospital trip in two weeks.
Doctors said she had a thorax exam and is suffering from hypertension. She has since returned to the jail. One of the attorneys who represents Anez, Norka Cuellar, told journalists the former leader's condition was "serious," without elaborating.
Anez was detained earlier this year over accusations that she participated in a coup to oust longtime leader Evo Morales in 2019. She denies the allegations and says she is a victim of political persecution. She is being held in jail while she awaits trial.
Bolivia is now governed by socialist President Luis Arce, who belongs to Morales' party.

Latin American fascist Presidents who have committed massacres seem to have so many medical problems when they go to the slammer, for some reason! Poor Guatemala's Efraín Ríos Montt, Chile's Pinochet, Peru's Alberto Fujimori, Peru's spy-master and death squad creator for Fujimori, Vladimiro Montesinos, and the latest, religious, racist fascist, Jeanine Áñez. These occurred in the recent past. They enthusiastically hand it out but they can't take it.
