"Steering Committees of the Associations: Federation of Native Communities of the High Cahuapanas (FECONADIC) and the Federation of communities shawi Sillay River (FECOSHASI) Cahuapanas District, expressed through their active participation rejection of the Oil Company Repsol that since last Sunday 19 of January, want to try to join the Community of St. Martha Awajun area in Upper Cahuapanas to perform technical work for oil exploration. We know that this company is taking the area who are strangers carrying firearms. Given this reality the District Mayor Mr. Ricardo Pizango Tangoa, on Tuesday, 03 of the present nor well coordinated actions met this information with key judicial and police authorities of the City of San Lorenzo - Prov Datem the Maranon, who immediately formed to Instead, finding several versions on the subject. In the course of our trip in Santa Maria de Cahuapanas, reaching the Provincial Prosecutor place in company with the strength of the national police, speaking to Mrs. Sofia Rojas Sanchez, who was severely beaten by these thugs, who are hiding in the bush Forest of the Capital District. The District Mayor, seeking to protect its population that is very frightened by the subject, submitted a complaint to the Prosecutors office, blaming the company Repsol of what might happen, because right now people in the communities near the capital are very watchful and waiting to defend their territories. We have no doubt that the State is providing protection for the company with protection of the Army, an attitude that rejects the indigenous people. Finally the 02 Federations, as described above, we demand a just and free return to Peru of our brother and fellow - Apu Alberto Pizango
