“The police were shooting to kill, but that’s not all, because they hid the dead,” one man told the BBC.

“They took them to the ravine and threw them from the helicopter in plastic bags. There are also dead on the river banks. Up there beyond the hill, there are more, as if it were a common grave.”

President Garcia has roundly rejected the allegations. He accused the protesters of disarming, tying up and slitting the throats of the officers taken hostage.

President Garcia has blamed foreign forces – widely understood to mean Bolivia and Venezuela – for inciting the unrest, saying on Sunday they did not want Peru to use its “natural resources for the good, growth and quality of life of our people”.

Does fighting against corporate environmental destruction not feel as good as fighting against native peoples making a living?
