Event Organized by the Luis Arce and Evo Morales Dictatorship at the OAS Ends Up Without In-Person Participants

#GHRL was able to speak with Secretary General Dr. Luis Almagro about the event. He clarified that this activity has nothing to do with the Organization of American States (OAS); it is being organized by the senders of the invitation, in a room requested by them. However, in-person participation will be limited due to COVID health protocols.

Francisco Guerrero Aguirre, of the OAS (Secretariat for Strengthening Democracy), has already sent his letter to the organizers explaining his reason for not participating.
