Alberto Pizango, former president of the Inter Ethnics Association for Development of the Peruvian Rainforest (AIDESEP), declared that he wants to return to Peru, but he also requested the authorities to change the arrest warrant issued against him.
The arrest warrant was issued due to his alleged responsibility in the deaths of police officers and Indians during the eviction operation conducted in Bagua on June 5th.
Pizango wants Peruvian Justice to cancel the arrest warrant and change it for a citation, so that he can come and respond to Justice.
"The government knows very well that my only crime was to denounce publicly their intentions to violate the Amazon's rights. Therefore the government does not want to change the arrest warrant,” he said to Ideeleradio.
"I've said many times that I would return home, but only if they issue a citation instead of an arrest warrant,” he remarked.
Pizango Chota also told Ideeleradio that “if the Amazonian peoples are proposing as its presidential candidate, I will obey this mandate because it means they still trust me.”
