According to local news, in March 2022, approximately 60 security workers from the Southern Peru mining corporation, a subsidiary of the Grupo México conglomerate, violently evicted and detained for several hours 20 community members from the peasant community of Tumilaca, Pocata, Coscore and Tala in Viña Blanca, Peru. At least one community member was allegedly seriously injured during the violent eviction. According to local authorities, the goal of the eviction was to release water from a dam that supplies the Cuajone copper mine camp, after the communities took control of the water reservoir.
