Peru: Trial Begins for Men Accused of Killing Indigenous Leader
The upcoming trial of five men charged with the contract killing of Kichwa leader Quinto Inuma Alvarado highlights the dangers faced by Indigenous environmental defenders in Peru. This legal proceeding is a crucial test of the nation's ability to address violence stemming from illegal logging and drug trafficking that threatens both the Amazon rainforest and its protectors. The outcome will be closely scrutinized by Indigenous groups and international observers, as it could set a precedent for future cases.
