While Peru is in an ongoing political crisis, the Indigenous movement clamors for justice. The demands are clear: prevent the killings of threatened Earth defenders, pursue legal actions against the murderers, and guarantee Indigenous territorial integrity.
According to the latest Global Witness report, Peru is among the ten most dangerous countries for Earth defenders. Since 2011, more than 45 environmental rights defenders have been killed there. Kakataibo leader Herlín Odicio is one of those who receives ongoing death threats.
In September 2020, narcotraffickers approached Herlín, offering to pay him to allow planes loaded with drugs to take off from his community. When he refused, the death threats started.
The reason leaders are targeted is always the same: their opposition to drug trafficking and illegal logging within their territories, as well as their vocal demands for land titling of their communal territory.
