Bolivia
CWI member arrested in Bolivia
Urgent solidarity needed

Following attacks on left-wing activists by right-wing thugs, working
in collaboration with the right-wing Prefectura in Cochabamba,
Bolivia, CWI member Adam Ziemkowski, has been arrested by the local
police. Adam will appear in court on Wednesday 6th June charged with
'sedition and incitement to violence'. Adam, a US national is in
Bolivia on an international scholarship studying marginalised and
oppressed groups. Bolivian members of the CWI have also been
threatened by right-wing thugs and in one case threatened with rape.
A solidarity campaign is being built in Cochabamba along with a
campaign against violence and repression by the right-wing.
The CWI appeals to all workers' and youth internationally to rush
protest letters to the Prefectura in Conchabamba demanding that the
charges against Adam Ziemkowski be dropped.

Protest letters should be e/mail or faxed to Manfred Reyes Villa at
the following e/mail:
prefectura at prefecturacochabamba.gov.bo or
faxed to +591 4459100
Copies should also be sent to
cwi at worldsoc.co.uk and
citbolivia at gmail.com

Suggested protest letter in Spanish

A Manfred Reyes Villa
Gobierno Departamental de Cochabamba
Plaza 14 de Septiembre Acera Norte 243
Cochabamba
Bolivia

Distinguido Señor,
Nos dirigimos a Usted para protestar en los más vigorosos términos
por el arresto y detención del Don Adam Ziemkowski, un ciudadano
norteamericano. El Señor Ziemkowski está con una beca internacional
de los EE.UU. en Bolivia, conocida como 'Full Bright Scholar'.
Como Usted sabe, él ha sido acusado de sedición y de incitar a la
violencia, a pesar de que cuando fue arrestado tenía en su poder
panfletos de un grupo que estaba protestando contra la violencia y la
represión en Cochabamba, material que el Señor Ziemkowski estaba
usando para su investigación académica.
El arresto del Sr. Ziemkowski y la amenaza de acusación en su contra
es un ataque flagrante contra los derechos democráticos y humanos. De
continuar se reflejará de manera extremadamente negativa contra Usted
mismo y las autoridades bolivianas. Nosotros estamos decidimos a
continuar acciones sobre este asunto y denunciar internacionalmente
estas medidas anti-democráticas a menos que estos cargos sean
descartados.
Por lo tanto le solicitamos encarecidamente descartar todos los
cargos contra el Sr. Ziemkowski y permitirle continuar su
investigación en Bolivia de una manera democrática y libre.
Reciba nuestros atentos saludos,

In English

To Manfred Reyes Villa
Gobierno Departemental de Cochabamba
Plaza 14 de Septembrre Acreca Norte 243
Cochabamba
Bolivia

Dear Sir,
We are writing to protest in the strongest possible terms at the
arrest and prosecution of Mr. Adam Ziemkowski, a USA national. Mr.
Ziemkowski is currently on a US international scholarship in Bolivia,
a 'Full Bright Scholar'.
As you know he has been charged with sedition and inciting violence
despite carrying leaflets when arrested from a group, which he was
using for his research, which were protesting against violence and
repression in Cochabamba.
The arrest of Mr. Ziemkowski, and his threatened prosecution is a
blatant attack on democratic and human rights. If continued it will
reflect extremely negatively on yourself and the Bolivian
authorities. We intend to take this matter further and expose these
undemocratic measures internationally unless these charges are
dismissed.
We therefore urge you to dismiss all charges against Mr. Ziemkowski
and allow him to continue his research in Bolivia in a democratic and
free manner.
Yours,

--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~
