In other news from Bolivia, lawmakers have voted to declassify archives that could hold information on victims of Bolivian dictatorships from 1960 to 1980. A group of relatives of those disappeared under the dictatorships have been on a hunger strike seeking the documents’ release. Olga Flores Bedegal is one of three women on the fifteenth day of the hunger strike.

Olga Flores Bedegal: “Right now, we think it’s a clear sign that the government intends to clear up this dark time in Bolivia’s history and answer our questions about where our relatives are. Once we see the results and it’s what we want, we will lift the strike. If not, we are willing to die. What we are asking for, no less and no more, is that they follow the law, that they comply with the Inter-American Convention against the disappearance of people.”
