South Ossetian Ex-Presidential Candidate Hospitalized after Police Storm

South Ossetian opposition leader Ala Dzhioeva was hospitalized after law enforcement officers broke into her headquarters to arrest her. Reportedly, she had a hypertensic crisis. Meanwhile, acting president Vadim Borovtsev accused Dzhioeva of the preparation of a coup d'etat. "Dzhioeva publicly announced her inauguration on February 10, which contradicts the decisions of the South Ossetian parliament," Borovtsev said. Dzhioeva won the 2011 presidential elections defeating Russia-backed candidate Anatoliy Bibilov. However, the republic’s Supreme Court annulled the vote. Dzhioeva refused to acknowledge the annulment and declared herself President-elect.
