In 2003...at least 64 protesters were killed in El Alto...and more than 400 injured...demanding the end to nat gas exports to the USA.
Today, the supreme court sentenced 4 former generals and an admiral to 10-15 years in prison for roles in the deaths.
Two former ministers were also jailed for three years each for "genocide".
After the deadly protests, President Sanchez de Lozada abruptly fled the country.
The government is seeking extradition of de Lozada and 7 of his minsters.
