PERU: Mining camp is latest target of violent protest actions
A raid on a copper mining camp in northern Peru which left two dead
and three disappeared is feared to herald a resumption of protest actions which
peaked in 2005 with mass demonstrations which claimed one life. The protests are
akin to those of the Amazonian indigenous groups concerned about the
environmental fallout from the project; the most recent raid takes place against
the backdrop of warnings from indigenous organisations that they may break off
talks with the government and resume their protest actions.
