Bolivia is a terror state, Argentinian rights activists warn after delegation threatened

THERE “now exists state terrorism in Bolivia,” Argentinian human rights activists have warned, following the ousting of president Evo Morales in a US-backed fascist coup last month.

The delegation reported on massacres at Sacaba and Senkata, which they said were the worst crimes against human rights committed by the regime of new President Jeanine Anez, a conservative Catholic who has branded Bolivia’s indigenous population “satanic.”

On November 15, nine people were killed in the town of Sacaba when police and soldiers attempted to stop a group of pro-Morales coca growers and farmers from marching to the city of Cochabamba.

Four days later, nine others were killed in the El Alto neighbourhood of Senkata, just outside the capital city La Paz, during a police and military operation to clear a blockade of a fuel plant.
