Peruvian Indigenous Groups End Protests After Land Law Thrown Out

August 21st, 2008 · No Comments

From DemocracyNow:

In Peru, indigenous rights groups called off more than a week of protests at two key Peruvian energy sites after congressional leaders moved to throw out a controversial land law. The law would have made it easier for mining and energy companies to buy communally owned land. Indigenous groups were concerned this would have led to a foreign land grab, especially in the Amazon rain forest.
