NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Britons travelling on a river boat are being held hostage by a tribe in Peru’s Amazon Rainforest, local media have reported.
Indigenous people from Cuninico in the northernmost Loreto province have detained the group to protest the lack of government aid following an oil spill.
Watson Trujillo, the leader of the Cuninico community, told Radio Programas del Perú (RPP Radio): ‘[We want] to call the government’s attention with this action, there are foreigners and Peruvians, there are about 70 people.’
The group of tourists also include citizens from the US, Spain, France and Switzerland.
