Bolivia: 1/11: An Eyewitness Account

Categories: Latin America, Bolivia, Politics, Protest

Jim Shultz on the violent protests that broke out in Cochabamba two weeks ago [1]: “Since then I have also spoken to a half dozen people who were eyewitnesses to those events. One of those accounts, from a non-participant, Jonas Brown, a US citizen who lives in the exact spot where the fighting began, stands out. I asked him to write it up for our readers and he agreed to do so. I post it here, unedited. I think it is an important contribution to the record of what happened here two weeks ago today.”
