La lucha continua parte 2

Last night the Congress (a coalition of parties WHO DO NOT REPRESENT ANYONE)threw out the case against Goni and his collaborators for the 35 deaths of February 2003 and for the economic crimes they have been accused of commiting(strangely $20 or so million went missing from the Bolivian Governments coffers on the same day Goni fled the country).

The case against him and his collaborators for the deaths of October 2003 can still proceed and is not affected, but this is a major blow for the families of those who died in February 2003.

Just think of how the mother and young son of Anna Colque feel. She was a 24 year old nursing student who was shot by a sniper whilst trying to help someone else who had been shot. She was unarmed and was wearing the red cross and only trying to save someone elses life. She left a 2 year old son. Where is the justice?

This christmas spare a thought for her family, Nestors family and every other family that has lost people in the various Bolivian struggles. At the same time spare a thought for the thousands of innocents who have been killed in Iraq through the illegal invasion. We are all in this together, in the year 2006 I hope that justice will be done to all who have died.

On a final note, all you slackers who havent signed our petition, DO IT PLEASE. Sign Here to help bring justice to the people of Bolivia.
