In February 2012, the petitioners reported that they were awaiting an appeal by the Mayor’s Office. In March 2012, the State reported that on February 19, 2011, the Municipal Government of La Paz had requested that the case be reopened, and the court had agreed based on the plaintiff’s reasoned request. Therefore, the initial indictment was issued, and thereafter the final instruction decision. The State reported that the accused appealed the final decision in the preliminary proceedings, and that the provisional dismissal was subsequently revoked.

She was asking for an investigation of these cases with a view to correcting the errors and to have a delegate appointed to examine the proceedings in the above-named cases.151 Her main complaint in the Gader case was the failure to assign the case and the precautionary measures at random, the failure to comply with the prerequisites for ordering pre-trial detention in the present case, and the refusal of the Third Criminal Examining Judge to allow her defense attorneys to be present for her preliminary statement on November 14, 2000. In the case alleging fraud in contributions to the Pension Office, she alleged irregularities and misrepresentations. In the Street Lamps case, Ms. Andrade’s main complaint was that during her preliminary statement on October 17, 2000, her attorneys were not permitted to assist her and were even threatened that they would be thrown out of the courtroom; the judge did not have Ms. Andrade read her preliminary statement and sign it until eight days later. She also complained that the judge ordered her pre-trial detention, ignoring the fact that the crimes charged did not warrant pre-trial detention. Finally, with regard 146 Annex 77.
