Genocide case for Bolivia ex-head
BBC
Bolivian prosecutors have brought formal charges of genocide against the country's exiled former president, Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada.
The move came on the fourth anniversary of Mr Sanchez de Lozada's resignation following violent street protests at plans to export natural gas.
The charges, denied by Mr Sanchez de Lozada, relate to the deaths of at least 60 people killed in the unrest.
The Bolivian government is seeking his extradition from the United States.
The Bolivian attorney general, Mario Uribe, presented nine charges, including genocide, against Mr Sanchez de Lozada to the Supreme Court in Sucre.
Eight members of his government and five high-ranking military chiefs were also charged with a range of crimes, including murder and torture.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7050273.stm
I guess we defend torture, not only here but for foreign criminals by harboring them here.
I guess the true American nature is showing, we can't pretend we give a damn about democracy, law & justice or human rights.
We are purveyors of corporate fascist hegemony & nothing else.
