The rampage left 22 people dead. Troops fired rubber bullets at groups of looters breaking into shops and buildings on Thursday, a day after riots began over plans for a new income tax. Television footage showed troops dashing through white clouds of tear gas in the capital's streets. As soldiers took cover behind a corner, one suddenly slumped to the ground, apparently shot in the face. His condition was unclear. President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada went on television urging Bolivians to try to rebuild the nation's economy, not destroy it. He was forced to suspend plans for the new income tax on Wednesday.

Please contact your nearest AI office AI Index: AMR 18/005/2002 In a new report published today, the organization details 13 cases of human rights defenders who have been victimised because of their legitimate human rights work. These include activists, lawyers, members of the clergy and personnel of the Ombudsperson's Office working on a range of issues including impunity for past human rights violations, land-related disputes and indigenous rights. The cases highlight a disturbing pattern of inaction on the part of the authorities, which has allowed those responsible for threats, intimidation and attacks against human rights defenders to enjoy complete impunity, and has left the victims increasingly vulnerable. "The work of human rights defenders is internationally acknowledged to be a key element in ensuring the rule of law and the protection of basic rights and liberties," Amnesty International said. "As such, it must enjoy the full support of the state and its institutions," the organization added.
