Threatened
March 19
Osvaldo Calle, Ultima Hora de La Paz, THREATENED
Calle, a reporter with the daily Ultima Hora de La Paz, received an anonymous death threat sent to his newspaper's office. Also, since March 15, the receptionists at the daily received several anonymous phone calls from a man inquiring about the hours when Calle arrived and left the office. After the newspaper publicized the incident, the threats stopped. Calle, who works for the paper's financial section, had reported on the involvement of politicians in two high-profile bank bankruptcy cases two years ago.
