Bolivian Minister Abducted And Beaten To Death By Striking Miners During Protests

A Bolivian politician has been beaten to death by striking miners after being kidnapped, local media reported. Deputy Interior Minister Rodolfo Illanes is believed to have been abducted and tortured after he went to talk to protesters on Thursday in Panduro, around 100 miles from the capital La Paz.

“At this present time, all the indications are that our deputy minister Rodolfo Illanes has been brutally and cowardly assassinated,” Minister of Government Carlos Romero said in broadcast comments.

He said Illanes had gone to talk to protesters earlier on Thursday in Panduro, around 160 km (100 miles) from the capital, La Paz, but was intercepted and kidnapped by striking miners. The government was trying to recover his body, Romero said. Protests by Bolivian miners demanding changes to laws turned violent this week after a highway was blockaded.

Two workers were killed on Wednesday after being shot by police, and the government said 17 police officers had been wounded.
