112 days. That is how long it has been since the government of India stripped Kashmir of its autonomy by revoking Articles 370 and 35A. 112 days of silence from the region, since India imposed a communications blackout that still has not been lifted. 112 days since 8 million Kashmiris have been cut off from the rest of the world by the “largest democracy on earth.” 109 days since India sent thousands of additional troops to Kashmir, already the most militarized zone in the world.

Cultural Survival condena el uso de fuerza excesiva, violenta, tras la renuncia forzada del presidente boliviano Evo Morales (Aymara), el primer presidente Indígena del país, después de 10 días de protesta pública.
Morales huyó a México luego de denuncias de fraude electoral por parte de la Organización de Estados Americanos. Las protestas posteriores han dejado hasta el momento a 23 personas muertas, más de 100 heridos y varios encarcelados en diferentes partes del país.
