The self-proclaimed president signed a decree that exempts the military from criminal responsibility in any acts undertaken against the mobilizations.
'The personnel of the Armed Forces that participate in the operations for the restoration of internal order and public stability will be exempt from criminal responsibility when, in fulfillment of their constitutional functions, they act in legitimate defense or state of necessity, in observance of the principles of legality, absolute necessity and proportionality,' the decree reads.
The decree was issued on Friday, the same day that at least nine protesters were killed by uniformed men in a clash near the city of Cochabamba.
Given the avalanche of criticisms on social networks regarding this decision, the de facto foreign ministry issued a statement that justifies the decree, thus guaranteeing impunity for crimes against the Bolivian population that rejects the coup.
