4. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Eduardo del Castillo, Bolivian government minister:
“However, we need to give a guarantee of non-repetition to the Bolivian people. We need to sentence those people who were active participants, the masterminds, the direct perpetrators, the accomplices, the concealers of this group of people who dared to try to assault power through force."

STORYLINE:
Families of people detained on accusations that they participated in a failed coup attempt in Bolivia protested outside the jail where their loved ones are kept.
They say they knew nothing of a plot in the lead-up to Wednesday’s spectacle.
Many families of those detained say their loved ones were “following orders” or told they were carrying out a “military exercise.”
On Friday, the government announced additional arrests of soldiers, bringing the total up to 21, including former Gen. Juan José Zuñiga, who led the failed coup.
Images from Bolivia shocked the world on Wednesday as an armored car rammed into the government palace in La Paz, the country's seat of government, and military officers fled after embattled President Luis Arce said his government was not backing down.
The general, who was sacked by Arce amid the chaos, claimed that he stormed Arce's government office to earn him political favor at a time of deep economic discontent in Bolivia, stirring doubt in many.
Around 200 military officers took part in the attempted coup, Bolivia’s ambassador to the Organization of American States said Thursday.
