Villagers in Peru decide to impose new road blockade on Las Bambas mine-ombudsman

The indigenous community of Fuerabamba in Peru decided to impose a new road blockade on MMG’s Las Bambas copper mine after talks with the company over compensation broke down, a representative of the ombudsman’s office said on Tuesday.

The community planned to start the blockade at midnight on Tuesday, the representative, Americo Contreras, said by phone, citing a document from government officials who mediated the talks that ended without a solution late on Monday.
