(Camera: GABRIEL ROMANO) SHOT LIST: EXTERIORS OF THE MIRAFLOR PRISON AND THE TORAX NATIONAL INSTITUTE IN LA PAZ, BOLIVIA. SOUND BITES: LAWYER NORKA CUÉLLAR AND DAUGHTER OF JEANINE AÑEZ, CAROLINA RIBERA (IN SPANISH)TRANSLATIONS:LAWYER NORKA CUÉLLAR:1. Today the second anti-corruption judge ordered the transfer, that is, a judicial exit for former president Jeanine Añez, so that she is transferred from two in the afternoon to four in the afternoon to the German clinic (Not sure if that's the name of the clinic or if the clinic is german) where she had an appointment so that a cardiological evaluation could be carried out, that is, a double ultrasound.2.We weren't told where she was going to be transferred, if she was going to be transferred, and what examination they would carry out here at the Torax Clinic. Neither of the two children who were here have been allowed to enter the examination.CAROLINA RIBERA:1. It has been five months since my mother has been detained in an unjust, illegal and unconstitutional way here in the Milaflores prison. We know that justice in Bolivia is not independent, that there is no independent investigation by the Public Ministry, that the judges do not act fairly. It is not like justice in other countries but we are waiting for the authorities to do the right thing, to place a hand on their heart and really follow the laws and follow the political constitution of the state.
