(Rocky Mountain News) May 12, 2008 Native Groups Protest Laws Facilitating Sales of Land in Peru: Since Aug. 9, indigenous demonstrators have been demanding the repeal of two decree laws that promote private investment in their territory, and the reestablishment of a clause from the 1979 constitution – which was replaced by the new constitution in 1993 – which stated that communally owned land in indigenous territory could not be sold or embargoed.
