The president of the Permanent Assembly of Human Rights of Bolivia (Apdhb), Amparo Carvajal, once again set up a vigil in La Paz to demand that the institution’s property be handed over to her.

“That house is not Amparo’s. It has its history. It was donated in 1992 by (former) president Tuto Quiroga,” said Carvajal on the street, where yesterday she also asked for contributions from citizens who passed by the place.

Carvajal reiterated that she demonstrated that Édgar Salazar is not the head of the Apdhb, but she.

Last year, she was evicted from her office in the Apdhb building in La Paz by Salazar, who continues to claim legal representation of the institution.

Given this, Carvajal set up a vigil on the terrace of the same building, where she remained for 50 days. The elderly woman slept outdoors and endured low temperatures to ensure respect for her presidency. “They’re going to take me out of here in a coffin,” she said at the time.
