La Paz, November 19 (RHC)-- Bolivian security forces set up road blocks across Cochabamba on Monday as mass demonstrations took place against the brutal attacks carried out against the people last week.

Three separate marches entered the city of Cochabamba, as demonstrators chanted for justice and the end of the de facto government that is led by the self-declared president Jeanine Anez. 

Last Friday, Bolivian security forces attacked a crowd of civilians in Cochabamba that were demonstrating in support of the deposed President Evo Morales.  The attack would turn into a massacre as nine Indigenous people were killed at the hands of the security forces. 

The Indigenous people in Cochabamba were protesting the recent coup that led to the overthrow of the democratically elected President Evo Morales by the right-wing opposition.   In response to this massacre, tens of thousands of Bolivians took to the streets of Cochabamba to denounce the killings and the new government that is led by the self-declared president Jeanine Anez.

Anez, who swore-herself in last week, has responded to these demands by stating: "We are doing everything in coordination and in unity with our brothers in the police.  That is what the current circumstances call for."

Anez has faced much criticism since declaring herself president, as many countries have refused to accept the coup that led to the ousting of the democratically-elected leader Evo Morales.
