On November 12, 2019, Jeanine \u00c1\u00f1ez became Bolivia\u2019s interim president with the mandate of calling new elections by January 2020. Under her administration, Bolivia has endured a surge of human rights violations. Shortly after \u00c1\u00f1ez took power, state forces carried out operations to suppress demonstrations that killed at least 23 Bolivian civilians, all indigenous, and injured over 230. These casualties made November 2019 the second-deadliest month in terms of civilian deaths caused by state forces since Bolivia returned to democracy after military rule nearly 40 years ago. Since November, the interim government has continued to persecute perceived political opponents, as \u00c1\u00f1ez herself is campaigning for the presidency. With COVID-19 infections and fatalities on the rise, new elections have been postponed three times, and are now scheduled for October 18. In the context of the pandemic and the electoral campaign, the \u00c1\u00f1ez government has sought to intimidate the press, shutting down critical news outlets and arresting journalists, while also arresting or detaining hundreds of former politicians on vague charges of\u00a0 \u201csedition\u201d and \u201cterrorism.\u201d This webinar will discuss the human rights record of Bolivia\u2019s interim government, and offer recommendations for national authorities and the international community.<\/p>\n
