In pictures: Hundreds of trucks line highways in Bolivia's farming region of Santa Cruz, as protesters block routes out of the region following arrest of local governor Luis Camacho

Protesters demanding Camacho's release on Tuesday have blocked highways out of the region with tires, branches and stones, leaving long lines of standstill traffic, the Reuters news agency witnessed. The blockades threaten deliveries of grains and food around the country. "The population is upset about the imprisonment of a right-wing governor and wants his freedom, but we are paying and suffering with this situation," said Luiz Hebert Godoy, a Brazilian truck driver transporting Bolivian gas.
Another source at a local business group said it would be hard for the region to maintain long protests and road blockades, with many still reeling from a lengthy strike last October and November.Demonstrators take part in a protest to demand the release of Santa Cruz governor and right-wing opposition leader Luis Fernando Camacho, imprisoned over an alleged coup in 2019, in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
