Several government buildings have been stormed by protesters in La Paz, Bolivia, where clashes have erupted during protests against President Rodrigo Paz.

A protest leader has been charged with terrorism over the unrest.

Riot police used tear gas against protesters during clashes that lasted several hours.

Farmers, miners, teachers, other professional groups, and indigenous peoples have led the protests, which have been ongoing for several weeks. The protests have demanded wage increases, economic stability, and an end to the privatization of state-owned companies.
