Moscow, January 9 (UNI) The International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) has activated an international arrest warrant for former Bolivian President Evo Morales per the Bolivian government's request, according to the country's interior minister, Arturo Murillo.
In December, the Bolivian authorities issued an arrest order for ousted Morales, accusing him of sedition, terrorism, and sponsoring terrorism. Morales claimed he was not afraid of the warrant, calling it illegal and unconstitutional.
"I have given the order at 1000 hrs (GMT) on Wednesday to Interpol to activate the international order [against Morales]," Murillo said during a press conference on Wednesday, as quoted by the state Agencia Boliviana de Informacion.
