"hostage taking" disputed[edit]

I'm moving this unsourced text here due to BLP issues for those involved (not so much Choquehuanca as the indigenous women).

During the 2011 Bolivian protests, he was held hostage by a group of lowland indigenous protesters who wanted to stop the construction of a highway on their tribal lands. They forcefully made him march in their protest so as to curb a counter-police reaction.

Let's workshop it here on talk before restoring it.--Carwil (talk) 02:46, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Interaction with 2011 indigenous march[edit]

Choquehuanca visited the Eighth Grand National Indigenous March twice on behalf of the government. On September 14 and 15, he conveyed the message that "We cannot change what the president has already decided" at the beginning of a long but fruitless dialogue with leaders of CIDOB and the Subcentral TIPNIS. From September 15, the march was blockaded from advancing by a crowd of some 200 campesino and colonizers' union members at the San Lorenzo bridge of Yucumo. Between the two protests, police set up a their own blockade, preventing the march from advancing.^[1]

On the morning of September 24, Choquehuanca returned to the indigenous march. Again negotiations with the march leadership were inconclusive. A group of female marchers grabbed Choquehuanca and led him marching down the highway in an effort to circumvent the police blockade.^[2] At the police blockade, a tense standoff escalated into a brief confrontation, but the marchers succeeded in passing the police line.^[3] Several government officials, including Minister of Interior Sacha Llorenti and Minister of Transparency Nardi Suxo said that this was a "kidnapping" (secuestro), but Choquehuanca steadfastly refused to label it as such saying that "the sisters and [female] comrades grabbed me, surely they had thought that they would pass that police encirclement with the Chancellor; I was not insulted, nor mistreated, but yes, they obliged me to walk."^[4] La Paz Prosecutor Patrica Santos, who was charged with investigating the events, received Choquehuanca's testimony to this effect on 21 November.^[5] In February 2012, the Prosecutor's Office subpoenaed twenty-six leaders of the indigenous movement and its allies to testify in an investigation of the incident as an alleged homicide.^[6] Former human rights ombudsman Waldo Albarracín has described the charges of kidnapping and attempted homicide as without merit.^[7]
