Solidarity with the Ayacucho communities! Enough repression!
Capitalism is rampaging through the last parts of the planet not yet ecologically destroyed, here poisoning the headwaters of Peru’s rivers in their lust for gold.. But indigenous peoples are fighting back after talks went nowhere, with a wave of Direct Action, local General Strikes and road blockades .

The demonstrators beat back police repression, destroying a $70 million dollar Gold Mining operation, Minera Aruntani S.A.C Apumayo , and setting a precedent that will make the Vultures think twice!
Aruntani has 6 gold mines in Peru, several have been temporarily closed by police after severe poisoning of rivers and refusing to obey restraining orders.

The invasion and burning of the Apumayo gold mine in Ayacucho
“Social conflicts spread throughout the country, but what happened yesterday, around 11 a.m., in Ayacucho, was a magnificent event.
It was learned that police tried to control the situation with tear gas; however, they had to retreat as they were overwhelmed by the large number of protesters.

Protesters invaded and set fire to the facilities of the Apumayo gold mining company Aruntani. This, after last Thursday the residents of the provinces of Lucanas, Parinacochas and Páucar del Sara Sara began an indefinite strike to demand the withdrawal of mining companies from their territories.
Among the burned assets are administrative offices, vehicles, the tap , the dining room and the processing plant. In addition, electricity was cut off and goods were stolen, including explosives.

In a statement, Apumayo said that the company’s workers had to retreat to take care of their lives.
Hours later, around 2 pm, protesters from the Frente de Defense of Chumpi entered the Breapampa mining unit and burned a mechanical maintenance workshop. Until yesterday at 9 pm this unit was in the hands of the protesters. Then they retired to their communal premises.”
