Live Breaking News & Updates on Jiml cavallaro

Harvard Law School’s International Human Rights Clinic secured a historic victory last Monday as a federal judge turned down former Bolivian president Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada and former defense minister José Carlos Sánchez Berzaín’s request to reverse a $10 million judgment against them for the massacre of Indigenous people in 2003.
Then HLS second-year student Thomas B. Becker brought the case to the clinic in 2006, and lawyers there, alongside other nonprofits and private law firms, filed the original suit on behalf of 10 members of Bolivia’s Indigenous population the following year. In a landmark decision in 2018, an American jury found the two Bolivian officials responsible for the extrajudicial killings. District Judge James I. Cohn reaffirmed that decision on April 5.
