PUNO, Peru — Heavily outnumbered police holed up in their barracks Friday in this regional capital during a second day of rioting by indigenous protesters opposed to a planned silver mine in Peru’s southern highlands.
The protest over the Canadian-owned Santa Ana mine turned violent Thursday when rioters attacked the tax office in Puno, hauling files and furniture into the street and setting them ablaze.
