The Indigenous populations of the Peruvian Amazonia started a general and peaceful strike for almost 60 days
to protest against 10 legislative decrees promoted by the Peruvian Government in order to comply with the Free
trade Agreement (FTA) with US that threatens their rights and their environment. More specifically, the FTA with
the US permits oil and mining companies to enter 44 out of 75 million hectares of Amazonian forest, which are
Indigenous territories, without any kind of agreement or even consultation.
