Bolivian cops clear pro-Morales blockade, use tear gas & machinery

Bolivian police free up a road in the center of the country blocked by supporters of former President Evo Morales who seek to prevent his arrest over an alleged relationship with an underage woman.

Protestors have blocked major roads in the country for the last two weeks, which the Bolivian Institute of Foreign Trade think tank estimates has cost La Paz around $500 million in lost trade.

The allegations relate to an alleged sexual relationship Morales had with an underage girl in 2015, taking her abroad on trips - which prosecutors argue constitutes human trafficking.
