Peru: Alternative Peoples Summit Held on Mining Activities

While the mining industry met for a conference in the Peruvian city of Arequipa, social organizations were holding their own People's Summit not far away. Social movements reject mining projects that they charge will harm the environment and local residents' health. Given the government's refusal to engage in a dialogue or seek a compromise, major social struggles are most likely on the horizon. Rael Mora reports from Lima. teleSUR
