Bolivian nonviolent movement @RiosDePie. We want a free, fair & safe Bolivia which respects Indigenous rights and has environmentally sustainable policies.

Since May 6, roadblocks led by different groups including those allied to former president Evo Morales have paralyzed La Paz, cutting off food, fuel, medicine and oxygen. 60+ checkpoints. 3 women are dead. This is what you need to know. 🧵

What we fight for and protect will always remain clear: to defend democracy, freedom, and citizens’ rights through nonviolent resistance.

Bolivia’s been facing an escalation of increasingly violent protests: blocked ambulances, attacks on civilians, destruction of public buildings. These groups demand President Paz’s resignation in a transitional government that has been 6 months in office.

Beyond the arrest of Arce for corruption, there are numerous pending investigations involving human rights abuses, and a judicial reform is needed to restructure this branch of the state, which has been historically subordinated to the executive for decades.

Let justice be done.

In March 2015, Marco Antonio Aramayo, then director of the “Fondo Indígena Originario Campesino”, reported a massive embezzlement that, according to independent investigations, could exceed 600 million dollars.

uncovering the truth, recovering the public funds lost, and moving toward real justice for all victims of persecution, including Aramayo’s family.

We hope this case provides an opportunity to show that the law must serve the people, not those in power.
