Colegas - Hoy, justo durante la reunión entre Presidentes Obama y Garcia, se hicieron una acción de protesta fuera de la Casa Blanca. Por una parte, la actriz Q'orianka Kilcher, quien acaba de acompañar a Alberto Pizango durante su regreso al Perú, se amarró a la reja de la Casa Blanca, y se bañó en "petróleo", como símbolo de la contaminación de territorios indígenas. Por otro lado de la calle, hubo una manifestación compuesta por diversos grupos e individuos, donde se enfocó el las violaciones de los derechos indígenas. Sobre todo se hablaba de la criminalización de la protesta social y la entrada de industrias extractivas en territorios indígenas sin consentimiento de las comunidades. Al final Q'orianka y su mamá, Saskia, fueron arrestadas y llevadas a la cárcel, donde pasaran la noche y enfrentarán cargos mañana de desorden público y destrucción de propiedad pública. Hemos arreglado abogados expertos en este tipo de acción para brindar un respaldo jurídico.
Protest during the Visit of President Garcia to the White HouseAndrewColleagues - Today, at the same time of the meeting between Presidents Obama and Garcia, there was also a protest action right outside the White House. On one hand, the actress Q'orianka Kilcher, who accompanied Alberto Pizango during his return to Peru, chained herself to the White House fence and was drenched in "oil" as a symbol of the pollution in indigenous territories. On the other side of the street, there was a protest made up of different groups and individuals, where the protest focused on the violation of indigenous rights. Above all the protest spoke about the criminalization of social protest and the entry of extractive industries onto indigenous territories without the consent of the communities. In the end Q'orianka, and her mother Saskia, were arrested and taken to jail, where they will spend the night and in the morning face charges of disorderly conduct and defacing public property. We have arranged for a lawyer, who is expert in this kind of civil disobedience action, to provide legal support.
