La Paz, May 21 (RHC)-- In Bolivia, residents in the city of Cochabamba took to the streets demanding an end to the nationwide lockdown, as they say quarantine restrictions have left them unemployed, without money or food.  Police in riot gear and soldiers were deployed to the protest after demonstrators set up road blockades. 

One of the protest organizers told reporters: “Over there you have soldiers, and there you have the police. What have we become?  Going out and asking for bread, for food for our children is a crime?  There is no food.  The only thing we are demanding is for quarantine to be lifted, to adopt security measures and to go out and work.”
