"Press teams of Red Uno, Univalle, Los Tiempos, and others were intimidated on the morning of Jan. 18, with the explosion of firecrackers (fireworks) and stone-throwing by a group of people who said they were against the vaccination card requirement. The protesters blocked traffic on Petrolera Avenue, kilometer 6, south of the city of Cochabamba, Bolivia.
The journalists, who had come to the scene to inform the public about the events, were forced to distance themselves from the protesters. The journalists tried to avoid being hit by objects and to protect themselves from any other aggression, in order to continue doing their work."
