Rev. Dr Samuel Kobia, General Secretary of the World Council of Churches (WCC) , has addressed a letter to President Alan García Pérez, expressing his concerns on the recent Bagua clashes, calling them "one instance of a series of government actions to abrogate the rights of the Indigenous peoples of the Peruvian Amazon over land and resources".
Kobia urged the Peruvian government to order the "immediate cessation of violent repression against indigenous people" and the launch of a "meaningful dialogue" in order to "peacefully and justly resolve the conflict".
Kobia deplored the "government's inability to resolve the conflict" by peaceful means, and expresses alarm about "reports of attempts to dispose of the bodies and cover up the true extent of the loss of life".
The World Council of Churches is a fellowship of Churches with 340 member churches worldwide representing over 550 million Christians.
(The full text of the letter can be seen in this link.)
