Mexico City, November 23 (RHC)-- Constitutionally-elected President Evo Morales denounced the coup regime in Bolivia, headed by Jeanine Añez, for inventing false charges with the intention of creating an international trial to discredit him.

In a tweet from his asylum in Mexico, the leader of Movement to Socialism said that they will appeal against judicial manipulation to imprison anti-imperialist, leftist and progressive figures, something they already did to Brazil's former president Luiz Inacio Lula.

"Those who have to be concerned about the International Criminal Court are Añez and Murillo, for the crimes against humanity that they are committing by ordering the military to murder my sisters and brothers, trying to cover these crimes with an illegal decree," he wrote on his Twitter account @evoespueblo.

In another message, Evo declared that "in the midst of so many lies and accusations they try to oust us.  They said I was already in Bolivia, that Russian soldiers were in my country for my arrival. Now they accuse me with assemblies as part of that campaign. The Bolivian people cry out for peace and dialogue #ParenLaMasacre."

Morales was referring in this way to statements issued by Áñez that she would file a lawsuit in The Hague against him.  The lawsuit will be filed for crimes against humanity, another coup-plotter, Arturo Murillo, who usurped the position of a government minister.
