Bolivian police fire tear-gas at protesters bearing the coffins of their comrades
BOLIVIAN police fired tear gas at anti-coup protesters who marched into La Paz bearing the coffins of slain comrades on Thursday.
The protest condemned the military putsch that overthrew re-elected president Evo Morales earlier this month and installed Jeanine Anez in his place during an inquorate meeting of the country’s parliament.
Demonstrators mounted roadblocks around La Paz, Oruro, Beni, Santa Cruz, Chuquisaca, Cochabamba and Potosi. A blockade of the Oruro-La Paz motorway stopped fuel reaching the capital.
