LIMA - A Peruvian judge on Wednesday ordered three years of jail time for three lawyers representing indigenous villagers who have blockaded shipments from a massive copper mine operated by Chinese miner MMG Ltd.
Villagers have demanded that their lawyers be freed before talking with the government about lifting their blockades of two roads that have cut off access to the Las Bambas mine, halting its exports. Kevin Pena, the attorney for the three men, denied the accusations and said their due process was being violated.
Fuerabamba villager Edison Vargas said the community would continue the blockades while they remained in jail. “We’ll keep up the struggle 36 months. The mine will be shuttered 36 months,” Vargas said in a phone message.MMG has said it is open to dialogue.
