General Juan Jose Zuniga, who led a failed coup attempt in Bolivia, has been sentenced to six months of preventive detention and transferred to a maximum-security prison. The coup, which aimed to overthrow President Luis Arce, has led to significant political turmoil in the country. Zuniga and two other former military chiefs were accused of terrorism and armed insurrection. President Arce has denied any involvement in the coup, despite claims that it was a 'self-coup' to boost his popularity. Public support for Arce's government has reportedly strengthened following the failed coup, with crowds defending democracy in Bolivia. The coup attempt has also been linked to economic interests, particularly over lithium.
