LA PAZ - Clashes between security forces and Bolivian coca farmers loyal to ousted former President Evo Morales left as many as eight dead and more than 100 injured late on Friday, the regional ombudsman told Reuters, prompting Morales to decry a “massacre.”
The leftist and charismatic former coca farmer has called his ouster a “coup,” and decried growing allegations of heavy-handed repression by Bolivian security forces. Cochabamba regional ombudsman Nelson Cox said hospital records in the coca farming region showed the “vast majority” of Friday´s deaths and injuries had been caused by bullet wounds. He called the reaction of security forces in the region an “act of repression.”
Though the capital La Paz was calm Saturday morning, highway blockades prompted panic on the streets, with many rushing to hoard groceries as supplies ran low and prices rose.
