Isabel Guerra
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.

Peru chooses Japanese-Brazilian standard for digital television system
Andina
Peru has chosen the Japanese-Brazilian standard for its digital terrestrial television system that will be implemented starting in 2011, according to the announcement made today by Enrique Cornejo, Minister of Transport and Communication.
The decision was taken based on the recommendations of the commission assigned by the government to evaluate which digital standard would be the best (ATSC - U.S.A, ISDB-T - Japan or DVB-T - Europe) for Peru.
In March this year, the National Radio and Television Society (which is made up of four private television stations and seventeen radio stations) stated it had done a detailed commercial and economic analysis and had come to the conclusion that the Japanese-Brazilian standard would be the best for the country.
