Bolivian President States Solidarity with Mothers of Plaza de Mayo




La Paz, Aug 5 (Prensa Latina) President of Bolivia Evo Morales expressed today solidarity with the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo in Argentina, given the arrest warrant against president of that organization Hebe de Bonafini.
"Our solidarity with the Mothers and Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo. Respect and admiration for the great defenders of life and freedom", Evo posted on his Twitter account.

Judge Marcelo Martinez issued last night a warrant to arrest fighter for human rights Bonafini and carry out a raid in the headquarters of the organization, to force her to testify as defendant in the case by the alleged embezzlement of funds for housing construction.

Evo said that before, parents, children and grandchildren were victims of the dictatorship in Argentina and now the mothers and grandmothers are victims of justice.

The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo Association was founded in 1977, during the dictatorship of Jorge Rafael Videla, seeking to find the whereabouts of their children, arrested and disappeared by the military management, and claim the prosecution of those responsible for the crimes against humanity.
