        This week's conflict centers on the second coca market set up by the Alan es faction in Villa El Carmen neighborhood of La Paz. Bolivian law allows each regional federation to operate one wholesale market for coca leaves.

          Adepcoca protesters rallied to shut the market down on Monday, sparking confrontations with police. 24 were arrested and one was severely injured, possibly by mishandling dynamite.

            The government has denounced the arrestees as "terrorists" and charged 19 with unlawful association. It seeks to hold them for 6 months.

                This week has seen a realignment of independent left politicians (notably La Paz governor Santos Quispe) and Alteño organizations (transit drivers, teachers) behind the demand to close the 2nd market.
