On Friday, June 5th, 2009 the Peruvian Government killed as many as 80 people after it staged a pre-dawn raid on a group of unarmed protesters.  The local Police, armed in riot gear, opened fire on the non-violent indigneous people, who were performing civil disobedience in response to the government giving 170,000 square miles of their Amazonian homeland to multi-national oil and mining companies. 

Brighid, spread your mantle of peace over the people and lands of Peru. Please stop the killing.
