“Acts of torture were committed against them — the victims tell us that police as well as soldiers and even foreigners committed these acts.” — Yomar Sanchez, Quechua journalist from Potosi.
JEANINE ANEZ was scheduled to face her first day of trial in February, on accusations of staging a coup in Bolivia in 2019 that plunged the country into an inferno.
