BOLIVIA: Military defiant over archives
The recent order to declassify military archives spanning the
dictatorship of General Luis García Meza (1980-81) as part of efforts to redress
past human rights abuses [WR-10-07] continues to meet with resistance from the
army leadership. The signs of disgruntlement from the top brass, which has

forces, under the new constitution.
