Bolivian Journalist Receives Death Threats After Covering Mobilizations

Yapacaní Journalist Faces Death Threats After Reporting on Mobilizations A journalist in Yapacaní, Bolivia, has reported receiving death threats after covering recent political mobilizations in the area. Soledad P.N., director of the local news portal InfoYapacaní, filed a police report with the Fuerza Especial de Lucha Contra el Crimen (Felcc) detailing the threats, which she attributes to individuals affiliated with former president Evo Morales. "On Sunday night, a group of people, clearly identified as supporters of Evo Morales, according to their own social media posts, surrounded me and threatened my life," Soledad stated in her report. "They were riding motorcycles at high speed, throwing firecrackers, and creating a climate of fear." The threats followed her reporting on the mobilizations, which apparently angered some participants. The video evidence presented by Soledad shows a group of motorcyclists speeding through the town, causing disturbances and potential risks to public safety. The incident underscores the challenges faced by journalists working in environments where political tensions are high. The Felcc is currently investigating the threats and working to ensure the safety of Soledad P.N. and her family.
