      In the #GIEIBolivia report's account, an early escalation point was the burning of a house and barley crops. Locals allege caravan participants caused this fire, but their accounts vary.

    At this point, Vila Vila residents called for backup from surrounding rural areas. The latter attacked the caravan with teargas, dynamite, stones, molotovs. Passengers, largely women, were physically and sexually assaulted, doused with fuel and threatened with burning.

      Around 25 members of the caravan were taken captive, beaten. After 10 escaped, 13 men and two women were still held. The men were ordered to strip, all were threatened with being burned to death, and were forced to claim on video they were protesting for pay.
