“We promulgate a law that permanently consolidates the work to care for the lives of women in our country” and that “establishes mechanisms that safeguard the rights of victims,” President Luis Arce said in a public act.
The rule was prepared after the government formed an inter-institutional commission that investigated all criminal courts in the country, following complaints that there were criminals who irregularly benefited from home detention.
The best known was the case of Richard Shock, who was released from prison in 2019 while serving a sentence for one murder and being investigated for another. On parole he killed two more women while police investigated whether he was responsible for more than 70 rapes.
Choque was captured in January of this year and in March he was sentenced to 30 for femicide.
Under the old law, crimes prescribed between five and eight years later in Bolivia.
According to the Ministry of Justice, the work of the inter-institutional commission allowed the recapture of 21 femicides and rapists, and led to the prosecution of 15 judges for malfeasance who irregularly granted parole.
