Peruvian Reaction

The following clips survey the reaction from yesterday's violence in Bagua, Peru
  1. Alberto Pizango, leader of AIDESEP (Interethnic Association for the Rainforest Development)
  2. Graciela Pirugia (?), family member of slain protesters
Interestingly, these individuals were speaking from La Victoria, a district in central Lima. From what they say,  it sounds like they were in Bagua during the morning of June 5. Members of Congress were present at this press conference as well. The Peruvian press is reporting that the government has ordered the arrest of Pizango.

Here is reaction from the President Alan Garcia.
