In
October 2003, then Bolivian President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozado
(“Goni”) ordered the military to stop protesters who were demonstrating
against the government’s plans to sell Bolivia’s natural gas to the
U.S. Over 400 people were injured and 67 were killed. Days later, Goni
fled to the U.S., where he remains today, until now avoiding extradition to stand trial.
On Monday, October 27, come hear about this case from four Bolivians who are active in the efforts to extradite Goni. Hear why the lawsuit is so important to the Bolivian people and how you can help to bring Goni and two of his former ministers to justice.
