The army general who led a coup attempt in Bolivia earlier this week has been transferred to a maximum-security prison, just outside the capital La Paz.
The former army chief General Juan Jose Zuniga was sentenced to six months' pre-trial detention.
On Wednesday, soldiers occupied the central square of La Paz, and rammed a door to the presidential palace.
Zuniga says he was following orders from President Luis Arce - which the President denies.
Al Jazeera’s Teresa Bo is in La Paz, and sat down for an interview with President Arce.
