The farmers say the military and police opened fire when pro-Morales protesters tried to enter the central city of Cochabamba on Friday, in the deadliest incident of the month-long wave of demonstrations. Shortly before, Anez had issued a presidential decree granting security forces immunity from prosecution. The road from Sacaba, the site of the killings, to Cochabamba - a Morales stronghold - has been blocked by security forces. He resigned and fled to Mexico after losing the support of the security forces. Anez, the former deputy speaker of the Senate, declared herself the interim president and has pledged to call elections soon.
