    The Bolivian police force deployed in Yucumo, has stopped the TIPNIS protest march group by the bridge Chaparina, reports La Razon in its website at 18:06 hours today.

    Police said they took that measure as precautionary as the settlers are also there (arrived to that bridge around 11:00); police justified their action as they said they wanted to avoid a violent confrontation between the indigenous group and the settlers. Around 14:00 today, the settlers were exploding dynamite, settlers wanted the TIPNIS group to meet with the government, and gave the indigenous group a deadline, it was set to 16:00 this afternoon.

      The latest news is that the police have carried out arrests of the marchers, including leaders such as CIDOB’s Adolfo Chávez.
      37 people are said to have disappeared, and one infant has died after police use of tear gas.

        It was very unfortunate to have witnessed all of that.
