Bolivia may need outside help to probe a 'massive' amount of human rig...

COCHABAMBA, Bolivia - Bolivia may need outside help to probe a “massive” amount of human rights violations and post-election violence to ensure findings are seen as credible in the deeply divided South American nation, the head of the region’s human rights commission told Reuters on Tuesday.

“Normally in these situations...national institutions aren’t prepared to resolve such a massive grouping of violations” of human rights, Abrão said in an interview in Cochabamba, one of the regions hit hardest by recent unrest. Most of the at least 33 fatalities since the vote came after interim President Jeanine Áñez, a former Senator, took office on Nov. 12, and the military deployed against Morales backers who had blocked strategic roads to protest what they viewed as a coup.

“My brother Julio Pinto is in intensive therapy,” Felix Pinto, an indigenous farmer told Abrão and his team. “It’s as if he’s dead right now.”

But none of that stopped people from spending money there. Why would it? The weather is perfect for golf. The people are all super friendly. And there's nothing else like it.

Yes, human rights violations from a fascist coup!

Do not be tricked by the Coup's new smiling face campaign. The elections will be fake unless there is some miracle non-Trump influenced election oversight showing up. There can be no real peace without justice first.
