Irishman was ‘unarmed and executed’ in Bolivia

IRELAND’S cross-party foreign affairs committee has thrown its support behind the family of Irishman Michael Dwyer who are seeking an independent investigation into his death.

Mr Dwyer died after being targeted by an anti-terrorist Bolivian police force in April 2009.

The Oireachtas group’s chairman, Pat Breen, said it was clear the 24-year-old was “unarmed and executed” when he was shot.
