2016-09-20 1

Peruvian campesina and Goldman environmental prize winner Máxima Acuña is denouncing US gold mining company Newmont for physically assaulting her on Sunday. In a video edited by the company, around 14 private security officers are seen in confrontations with Acuña and her husband while other company employees are destroying their vegetables plot Since her land is in a remote area of the southern Andes of Peru, she had to travel two hours to reach a clinic.
