      1. It's been four years and six months since a Bolivian soldier or cop shot a protester with live ammunition. That long of a pause hasn't happened since at least 1936, maybe ever.

      Bolivian police shot a teargas canister at a protest in Santa Cruz in January 2003, wounding a bystander in the eye. He died from complications of multiple surgeries. This is the only death caused by security forces on-the-street under President Luis Arce.

    Whistleblower Marco Antonio Aramayo died in custody following a long history of mistreatment in April 2022, a second death for which the Arce government is responsible.
