Bolivia's interim government accused ousted President Evo Morales of terrorism and sedition on Friday for purportedly organizing highway blockades intended to prevent food from reaching some cities.

Acting Interior Minister Arturo Murillo said the complaint relates to a video in which Morales is supposedly heard in a phone call co-ordinating the blockades from Mexico, where he is living in exile since being ousted in a dispute over the Oct. 20 presidential election. Murillo said Bolivia's government is seeking a maximum penalty, which is between 15 and 20 years in prison.

"This audio will be verified in Argentina, and we're also asking the telecom company to confirm where the call comes from," he said. Late Friday, politicians both for and against Morales reached an agreement to send to congress a bill to convoke a new presidential election.
