Bolivia: Activists to gather in La Paz on July 12
Activist protest in La Paz, Bolivia, on July 12. March to Plaza Murillo in the downtown area.
Activists affiliated with several organizations, including the Syndical Federation of Bolivian Mineworkers (Federacion Sindical de Trabajadores Mineros de Bolivia, FSTMB), are marching in La Paz on July 12. Activists gathered outside the Multifuncional Ceja de el Alto and are marching to Plaza Murillo in downtown La Paz. Protesters are denouncing the military uprising that took place in late June.
Significant transport and business disruptions are likely in La Paz. Heightened security is likely, and clashes between police and demonstrators are possible, especially if police try to disperse protesters or dismantle roadblocks.
Avoid the protest. Plan for localized traffic disruptions in central La Paz. Leave the area immediately at the first sign of any security disturbance and seek shelter in the nearest secure location. Heed instructions from authorities.
