In Bolivia, hundreds of people rallied outside the US Embassy in La Paz Tuesday to call for the extradition of former President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada and two of his former ministers. The three are wanted to stand trial in Bolivia in connection with a massacre three years ago that led to the deaths of sixty-seven people and left more than four hundred wounded. More than sixty US citizens took part in Tuesday’s protest, including Maggie Fogarty.

US protester Maggie Fogarty: “I’m here today as an US citizen, who lives here in Bolivia, joining other US citizens today and citizens of other countries who are honoring this international day of solidarity with Bolivia by protesting in front of US embassies, in public plazas, and city halls demanding that the US government stop obstructing justice for the Bolivian people.”

The protest came one day after thousands of Bolivians held a rally marking the three-year anniversary of de Lozada’s resignation. Bolivian President Evo Morales addressed the crowd.

Bolivian President Evo Morales: “The government of the United States say they fight against terrorism, against corruption, that they defend human rights. If they truly defend human rights, if they truly fight against terrorism, if this is true, then–my friends–to defend democracy from an assassin, a criminal, the mafia of Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada, Sanchez Berzain, the United States must expel them as soon as possible.”
