Killings in North Peru

Sat, 06/06/2009 - 00:16 - Thomas DM

The conflict - see article below - between the Peruvian government and the Amazon people is escalating. The army fired on the pueblos amazonicos and the rondas campesinas which were blocking the road. At least 25 Amazon indians were killed and more than 100 were injured. Some say 84 people have already been killed.

Read the Spanish declaration of the Archbishop of Trujillo, Monseigneur Miguel Cabrejos Vidarte.
