People in Tacna March in Second Day of Anti-Mine Strike

People in Tacna, Peru, marched for a second day on Thursday, May 28, in protest against the controversial Tia Maria copper mine project. The government deployed army troops to seven southern regions, where demonstrators called for a 48-hour strike from Wednesday.

The strike follows months of violent protests against the open-pit mining project, which locals fear will contaminate their crops. Four people have been killed during clashes between police and protesters over the past two months, according to reports. Credit: YouTube/El Búho
