Indigenous Peruvians Occupy Airport, Demand Accountability for Pollution
Hundreds of protesters from Peru’s indigenous community occupied a
small airport in the country’s largest oil-producing territory on Monday
night in response to unheeded demands that an oil producer clean up
pollution that has been seeping into their drinking water, Reuters
reports.
Protesters took over the airport, which is situated in the Andoas district in the north of the country in the Amazon rainforest, in connection with a dispute between Argentinian energy company Pluspetrol and the Peruvian government over pollution and resource use.
