Now that democracy has returned, Human Rights Watch boss Ken Roth pretends to have supported it and the MAS all along, despite being a key int'l driver in the fascist coup of 2019, and whitewashing massacres of indigenous resisters

But I won't forget it. And neither should you.
In November, the 🇧🇴 coup govt passed a law pre-exonerating death squads of all future crimes committed in the pacification of the state.

HRW merely called it a "problematic decree", as if it used insensitive language or something, not that it was a literal license to kill.
Roth refused to use the word "coup" to describe the events, referring to them as a people's "uprising" against a "strongman" and a "transitional moment."
As Bernie Sanders' communications director wrote:

"Human Rights Watch’s deep ties to U.S. corporate and state sectors should disqualify the institution from any public pretense of independence.” https://nacla.org/article/hypocrisy-human-rights-watch
