LA PAZ, Bolivia — Hundreds of indigenous activists opposed to plans to build a highway through an Amazon reserve resumed their march to the capital Saturday, a week after a violent police crackdown.

The march against the Brazil- funded highway through the Isiboro-Secure Indigenous Territory National Park was halted Sept. 25 by police using clubs and tear gas in an operation that left dozens injured and led to the resignation of the defense and interior ministers.

The march resumed Saturday in the town of Quiquibey, about 125 miles from the capital, La Paz.
