PROTEST AT HILLARY CLINTON'S NYC OFFICES IN SUPPORT OF PERUVIAN FARMERS
A rally in in support of 5 Peruvian farmers killed by the Peruvian government was held today at noon in front of the Peruvian consulate in NYC. The protesters are asking for the Alan Garcia government to respect the life and the rights of Peruvian farmers in their struggle against the US-Peru FTA - Free Trade Agreement. The protest was sponsored by the NYC People's Referendum on Free Trade.
Also today, protesters were arrested after they shackled themselves at Hillary Clinton's NYC Senate office, after her support of the US-Peru FTA and her silence in regards of the Peruvian farmers killed. Hillary Clinton has lied repeatedly about this issue, and she hasn't come forward on the responsibility of her husband for signing the failed NAFTA free trade deal, from which the Peru deal was copied almost exactly. Both Clinton and Obama supported the Peru FTA but neither of them voted for it.
