Bolivia Police Suppresses Protesters Marching With Five Dead Splinters
- Tear gas has dispersed the protesters who have travelled the route between El Alto and La Paz this Thursday.
There have been serious disturbances in the capital of Bolivia on Thursday. Thousands of Bolivians began a march through the people of El Alto, where the flock of five people who had been killed by the police was carried with them. The aim has been to address the Government ' s accusation following the coup d ' état in Bolivia against the Bolivian Government. In fact, the Government of Áñez had already reported that the deceased were members of armed groups in the area.
Upon arriving at La Paz, the frames were placed at one point on the vehicles of the police forces. The police have used tear gas to disperse the protesters, who have been arrested. Those present have denounced that "you do not even respect the dead", according to several media reports in a statement.

Censorship
In addition, there have been numerous cases of censorship in Bolivia. Tele Sur has pointed out that journalists are suffering “threats and persecutions” from the government and the government environment. For example, the Government ' s media minister following the coup d ' état, Roxana Lizarraga, has accused several national and international media of sedition.

The vote will take place in favour of Arce Catacora and David Choqueuhanca, despite the doubts that exist as a result of the contradictions in Mas’s candidacy. These are reasonable doubts, since the personalist and vertical stages in the management of the State by the HAF have... [+]
