Several Bolivian newspapers are protesting a proposed law which would allow the government to shut down any media outlets it deems guilty of racism. The protest is motivated by concerns that the law could be used to curtail political criticism or against newspapers which publish the discriminatory opinions of others. President Evo Morales has stated he will not modify this aspect of the bill which is intended to combat racism against the indigenous people of Bolivia. The bill has passed through the Chamber of Deputies but will not become law unless it is also passed by the Senate.

On 19 October, more than a hundred cooperative miners attacked the headquarters of La Razón, a newspaper based in the Bolivian administrative capital La Paz.
The attack took place during a protest march over the ownership of a site in the Murillo province of the La Paz department. According to local media, the demonstrators exploded dynamite cartridges outside the offices of the newspaper. Nobody was injured in the attack.
“Next time it could be worse, so a clear message must be sent that violence against the media will not be tolerated”, said Alison Bethel McKenzie, Deputy Director of the International Press Institute (IPI), in a statement condemning the attacks. (La Razón)
