The former member of Congres of the MAS, Marlene Paredes, reported yesterday that

a group of militants of the ruling party beat and illegally searched

his home, located in the Yungas region of La Paz.

 

Walls reported that last Tuesday (March 3) a crowd of leaders of

the MAS raided his home looted and proceed to beat up the occupants, in

their intention to kill them not to report this abuse.

 

"After having ransacked my house, stealing my things, destroy the

water channel, people came and tried to kill me. I made the complaint

to the Police Coroico in the day, I also have the forensic reports and

now I to file the complaint with the District Attorney, we can not

allow these things. I can identify those responsible, "he said between

sobs.

 

With a body full of bruises on the strong beating he suffered at

the hands of militants of MAS, said that the former parliamentary

reported in a timely manner without the constant threat that the

government do something and the Prosecutor to investigate these

actions.

 

"There are other cases Chulumani, Coroico and other populations

whose owners take joint action to require the government to end these

abuses being committed by activists of the MAS," he said. Asked about

the taking of land and housing Paredes, Senator bolivian rain forest,

Lino Villca (MAS), sought to justify these actions by noting that in

the Yungas standards exist within each community and should be

respected.
