AT LEAST eight more Evo Morales supporters were killed by pro-coup forces as protestors blockaded a fuel plant in Bolivia yesterday.

Supporters of the ousted president died as they mounted barricades around the YPFB plant in El Alto, as calls mounted for self-appointed and US-backed ‘interim President’ Jeanine Anez to step down.

The coup leaders denied responsibility for the killing of protesters at another fuel plant on Tuesday in La Paz, despite eye-witness accounts that those killed were shot by soldiers.
