Efraín Seña

Efraín Seña is a prominent leader of the cocalero movement in the Trópico de Cochabamba, Bolivia. Recently, he was in the news for leading a blockade on the Cochabamba-Santa Cruz highway in response to what his group describes as police repression against their members who traveled to La Paz. Seña's actions highlight ongoing tensions between cocalero farmers, who cultivate coca, and Bolivian authorities, as they advocate for their rights and seek the release of detained comrades.
