    The raid at Chaparina, an attempt to end a cross-country indigenous march saw police beat and brutalize hundreds of unarmed marchers, arresting hundreds, on live TV.

      Chaparina led to a decisive break between the Morales government and two traditionalist indigenous movements, a decisive loss of moral authority domestically, and the resignation of multiple cabinet members and high officials.

        Accountability for the raid and its brutality was an essential pre-requisite for mending these relationships, but Interior Minister Sacha Llorenti remained a prominent member of the Morales administration and was never meaningfully investigated.

          Victims of the raid are now calling for civilian officials, including Llorenti, to be separately prosecuted.

            The eleven-year tiemspan between event and accountability, exclusion of senior officials, and short sentences are leading numerous voices to reject this sentence as justice delayed amounting to justice denied.
