Peruvian Government Draft Report Buries the Truth about Bagua, Resurrects Racist Stereotypes http://upsidedownworld.org/main/peru-archives-76/2588-peruvian-government-draft-report-buries-the-truth-about-bagua-resurrects-racist-stereotypes-

One year since the tragic events at Bagua in northern Peru, when armed police attacked indigenous Awajún and Wampis protesters, it is clear Peru’s government has no intent to change its hostile relationship with the country's indigenous population. In a move that has provoked outrage in many quarters, President Alan Garcia recently blocked a law, voted by Congress, that would have recognized indigenous people's right to consultation about projects affecting their land – precisely one of their demands when protesting the year before.
