Hundreds of messages have been sent to the Bolivian authorities by student and labour movement activists, left wing organisations and individuals from all over the world demanding the immediate release of Cesar Zelada, the Peruvian student and left wing activist jailed in Bolivia on September 14th.

The messages are coming from all over the world, from the US to Pakistan, from Iran to Argentina. You can see a regularly updated list of these at: http://argentina.elmilitante.org/index.asp?id=muestra&id_art=683

Pickets of the Bolivian embassies have been organised for tomorrow, Friday, September 24th, in Rome, Vienna, Buenos Aires and Mexico amongst others. In Spain the Students Union has called a demonstration at the Bolivian embassy on October 5th (http://www.elmilitante.org/index.asp?id=muestra&id_art=1429)
