FORMER Bolivian president Evo Morales has demanded justice for those killed in the Senkata massacre, as the victims were declared heroes at a rally held yesterday to mark the first anniversary of the attack.

Mr Morales demanded that those responsible for the killing of ten indigenous Bolivians in the city of El Alto last year are brought to justice. 

He said there could be no impunity, with self-proclaimed interim president Jeanine Anez exposed by congress as having given the order for the military operation.
