See all tags

Peru is scrutinizing paid security services that federal police provide to mining companies following a deadly protest by local residents that suspended exports from one of the world's biggest copper mines, the government told Reuters on Monday….The three-month-old centrist government of President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski is also talking with the Red Cross about setting up a program to teach police to manage protests better, Rolando Luque, director of the National Office of Dialogue in Kuczynski's Cabinet, said in an interview….The fatal shooting of a protester in clashes with police near MMG Ltd's Las Bambas copper deposit earlier this month derailed talks between the government and Quechua-speaking communities upset with the company's use of a local road. Protesters blocked all roads near the mine after the incident, disrupting exports and threatening to halt output.
