News
from the Caribbean and the Caribbean Diaspora.
A
Spanish-language website, with some English content, by and about the
movement to bring former Bolivian President Gonzalo Sánchez
de
Lozada, now in exile in the United States, to justice for acts of
government violence in September and October of 2003. These events,
in which 60 people died and more than 400 were injured, took place as
"Goni" Sánchez de Lozada moved to suppress
widespread protests that began with opposition to the privatization
sale of public waterworks and water rights to the US-based Bechtel
Corporation, escalated
with an attempt to impose an income tax and became
generalized
throughout the country with the privatization sale of the country's
gas resources to a multinational consortium. The repression also
included the seizure of newspapers and threats against journalists
from both print and broadcast media in an attempt to control coverage
of the events. Goni largely grew up in the United States, speaks
Spanish with an American accent and made a fortune on the Chicago
Commodities Exchange. The Bush administration explicitly, and now
apparently the Obama administration, treated Bolivia's requests for
Sánchez de Lozada's extradition as attempts at political
persecution.
