State-employed miners participate during a protest in La Paz
State-employed miners participate during a protest in La Paz October 10, 2006. Thousands of miners, teachers and representatives of civil society organizations took part in the rally in support of state-employed miners. Last week, independent miners fought a deadly dynamite battle against workers of state-controlled mining company COMIBOL over the country's largest tin mine, in the town of Huanuni, leaving 16 dead and more that 60 wounded.
