Bolivia: Complaint Submitted to the UN Denouncing the Sacaba and Senkata Massacres
The political persecution, restriction, repression and criminalization of protests have not stopped but have grown worse in Bolivia. In the past weeks, union and peasant movements have mobilized throughout the country over another change of date for the elections to October 18. The de facto government attributes the lack of hospital supplies for combatting Covid-19 to the road blocks – despite the fact that medical aid and ambulances have not been blocked – and is gearing up to respond to protests with repressive measures. There are also armed civilian groups mobilizing against protesters.
