An on-line information search for November 1984 did not provide any reference to a hunger strike in La Paz on 25 November. According to a 30 October 1984 report from Inter Press Service, however, thousands of farmworkers were reportedly in the second day of a hunger strike in Cochabamba. In addition, on 30 October, The New York Times reported that, Bolivian President Hernan Siles Zuazo had ended a five day hunger strike.
