We urge the media to do more to document the mounting human rights abuses being committed by the Bolivian state. There has been ongoing looting, burning of buildings, and violence on the streets and protesters have been met with much repression. Despite increasing violence and repression, diverse social forces have been demonstrating around the country to condemn the government of Áñez. Killing us as if we counted for nothing?”We denounce the repressive state violence unfolding in Bolivia. We ask international human rights bodies and organizations to impartially investigate and document the acts of violence committed by government agents.
