El Coraje del Pueblo

The Courage of the People

Today is the third anniversary of the end of the Gas War which cost 67 lives and hundreds of injuries. The ex-President Gonzalos Sanchez de Lozada and 2 of his ministers are still living the comfortable life in the US. After repeated requests by the Bolivian Government to serve these 3 men with legal papers to return to Bolivia to answer charges of murder, the US government are still neglecting to do so. Whilst at the same time refusing a visa to Juan Patricio Mamani, whose brother was killed in October 2003 and who wanted to share his story with people in the US.

On this day, remember those that were killed and their families who are fighting for justice. There are many events happening world wide to support the campaign to bring these men to trial. See www.boliviasolidarity.org for more information.
