Bolivian interim President Jeanine Añez Chávez signed a decree on May 7 that criminalizes dissemination of “any kind of information, whether written, printed, artistic, or by any other process that puts at risk, affects public health, or generates uncertainty among the population,” and imposes jail terms of one to 10 years. Media outlets fear that this could be used against journalists.
