"Opposition leader and suspended Santa Cruz governor Luis Fernando Camacho was released from San Pedro de Chonchocoro penitentiary in La Paz on Friday after nearly three years in preventive detention over unrest that led to the ousting of then-president Evo Morales. Footage shows Camacho leaving prison waving his regional flag and wearing the sash of regional authority, flanked by his lawyers. Supporters chant and wave Bolivian flags as they see off the pickup truck carrying the suspended governor. "This sacrifice (being imprisoned) is a commitment I made with my people never to flee, never to sell myself to the Movement for Socialism, never to kneel and never to humiliate myself, and I always said, 'I will leave through the front door, never negotiating with the Movement for Socialism,'" Camacho told the press and backers present. Following the decision of the Court of Justice to lift his preventive detention in four cases and grant him house arrest, the opposition leader will return to Santa Cruz, where he plans to resume his duties as governor for the first time since his arrest. Camacho, detained since late 2022, faces trial under house arrest on charges of terrorism, sedition and bribery over protests he led as head of the Santa Cruz Civic Committee against alleged fraud in the annulled 2019 re-election of Evo Morales."
