Six actions from the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights requested by two assembly members of the Citizen Community to help the cocaleros of Adepcoca. The deputies, Lissa Claros and María Reque sent the note addressed to the outgoing High Commissioner, Michelle Bachelet.
Condemn the violation of Human Rights in Adepcoca, a call to put an end to the violations, to put an end to the political interference of the Government in institutions, that everyone refrain from resorting to violence, sending an observation mission to the country, and finally, measures to safeguard human rights, the peace and democracy in Bolivia, are the six requests made by the two legislators.
The coca growers of Adepcoca maintain a conflict for four weeks against the Police that defends an illegal coca market It works without government permission. This Thursday there was an attempt at dialogue that was frustrated and the coca growers are preparing more pressure measures to close the supply that the leader Arnold Alanes opened.
The legislators sent their note despite the fact that Michelle Bachelet will leave her position at the end of the month. On June 13 of this year, it was the High Commissioner herself who made it known that she would not stand for reelection. Almost all the predecessors of the also former Chilean president did not repeat her mandate.
The deputies blamed the Government of all the abuses that occur in Villa Fátima. They also advocated for schoolchildren who are harmed by not attending classes, since face-to-face classes have already been suspended due to the rain of tear gas.
The extensive letter also ensures that there are more than 30 detained coca growers, neighbors and bystanders who were at the scene of the conflicts. According to official reports, there are six coca growers in preventive detention in the San Pedro prison, but there are no neighbors or bystanders who would be in jail.
