[PDF] Peru: A Chronicle of Deception

This report argues and demonstrates that the Peruvian government acted in bad faith by modifying the original proposal to create the Ichigkat Muja National Park agreed upon with the Awajún and Wampís communities…in order to benefit mining interests…who maintain strong political ties with senior government officials. As a result, the territory of these peoples has been threatened, and their rights…have been challenged…This situation serves as a basis for the claims made by the indigenous organizations that led to massive demonstrations…[and] a prolonged strike, which culminated in the bloody events of Bagua (June 5). [Refers to Compañía Minera Afrodita, Consorcio Ananea, Doe Run (part of Renco), Dorato Resources]
