La Paz, July 23 (RHC)-- The Bolivian Minister of Justice and Institutional Transparency, Iván Lima, reported that the Government will publish in August the report of the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI) on the acts of violence and human rights (HR) violations that occurred in 2019 after the coup d'état.  

The official explained that "from the delivery of the document (this Friday), the Government of Bolivia has ten working days to review it (...).   I estimate that this would happen around August 5.  The first week of August it will be made public."

The GIEI started the investigations in November 2020 on the massacres in Sacaba, Cochabamba, where ten people were killed during the fierce repression by the police and the Armed Forces against the demonstrations that rejected the coup d'état; as well as in Senkata, El Alto, where there were also ten deaths due to bullet impacts.

The collection of testimonies and documents lasted six months, after the signing of a joint agreement between the Plurinational State of Bolivia and the international human rights organization that provided the members of the GIEI.

Lima explained that, after the ten days they have to review the report, the GIEI will be notified and "they could accept or deny the observations or clarifications we make."
