Urgent denunce from a grassroot miner

This damned narco-repressive government, not content with kidnapping and detaining leaders, today sadly dared to attack our leader from District 8 of the city of El Alto.

We cannot let these acts of intimidation go unpunished. For this reason, we issue a strong denunciation to the international community and the proletariat of Latin America and the world.

We announce that we will not stand idly by. We will take direct action, and we will not be held responsible for future actions in defense of the people of El Alto.

1- Disband the police and the entire coercive and repressive apparatus of the government, a symbol of imperialism.
2- Resigning of the traitorous leaders.
3- Impartial trial for the murderers of the people.
4. Unrestricted and complete release of our imprisoned comrades
