Title: PANAMA: ENVIRONMENTALISTS SUPPORT GREENPEACE VISIT


panama, jul 27 (ips)  --  panamanian environmentalists monday
protested against the transport of toxic chemicals and nuclear
waste via the panama canal and came out in support of a visit of
the greenpeace vessel, ''rainbow warrior'', planned for thursday.

the executive director of the foundation for the environment
and national parks, itzel rojas, said that the visit by the
international environmental organisation would ''alert central
americans to the danger posed by the transport of nuclear waste
through the panama canal.''

the greenpeace visit will also drum up support for a regional
accord prohibiting the importation of toxic wastes into central
america. the accord was signed by regional presidents at a june
summit in managua, but still needs to be ratified by each of the
six nations' parliaments.

the rainbow warrior will first dock at the caribbean port of
cristobal, where the vessel's 16 crew members will participate in
a variety of acts aimed at denouncing the importation of toxic
wastes in central america.

in 1991, greenpeace representatives warned that panama would
become ''uninhabitable'' if any of the cargo ships loaded with
nuclear waste should suffer an accident.

between 1989 and late 1991, some 26 ships loaded with spent
nuclear fuel, produced in japan and destined for treatment in
france and the united kingdom, passed through the panama canal.

each one of these ships can carry a potential 90,000
kilogrammes
of spent nuclear fuel, a highly toxic and radioactive waste that
remains radioactive for tens of thousands of years.

according to greenpeace, if one of these ships were to leak
radiation, the resulting contamination could be 45
percent greater that the 1986 disaster at the chernobyl nuclear
plant in the former soviet union.

the rainbow warrior will remain in panama until aug. 2 en
route to el salvador and guatemala. the vessel began its tour of
latin america at june's earth summit in rio de janeiro.

CENTRAL AMERICA: Guatemalan Students Protest Police Brutality

Guatemala City - Hundreds of Guatemalan students blocked traffic
and set up barricades of burning tires late Thursday as unrest
grew against the government of President Jorge Serrrano.

Unchallenged by the police, the students stopped rush-hour traffic
outside the state University of San Carlos for an hour to protest
alleged police brutality in breaking up a demonstration Tuesday,
witnesses said.

Hours earlier, Interior Minister Fernando Hurtado Prem, who had
authority over the police, resigned.

A mass?. Isn't that what the Spaniards brought to America? To make it more

Be careful, there's a big difference between Usenet and Internet
connections.  Without an Internet connection, you can still get mail
and news services, for example. With an Internet connection, you can
expect to get mail via SMTP plus news and telnet services, plus perhaps
more.

According to data in the Internet Society News (both Winter and Spring
1992), Costa Rica is "expecting soon" its Internet connection (perhaps
this has already been implemented since April 27, 1992).

From the scant information that I have, there could be a UUCP link from
huracan.cr to various people and institutions in Panama. 

If someone has already sent mail to huracan.cr asking about the Huracan
regional network, please enlighten us! If nobody has done this yet,
please don't do it, and I will send some mail in a few days if nobody
posts (to save this poor guy from receiving 1,000 mails). :-)

Title: CENTRAL AMERICA: FARMERS WARN AGAINST RESURGENCE OF RURAL
VIOLENCE

tegucigalpa, jul 20 (ips) -- representatives of farmers' groups in
central america have warned of a possible resurgence of rural
violence if more economic adjustment policies are implemented.

in a two-day meeting in the honduran capital last week, the
'association of farmers groups in central america' said if the
idea of ''rural sacrifice'' is allowed to expand, the causes of
poverty and violence in the countryside will once more affect the
region -- but this time more intensely.

the farmers harshly criticised the adjustment policies which they
said had increased poverty by about 70 percent among the region's
total population of 28 million.

honduran delegates lashed at the process of ''agricultural
modernisation'', promoted by a law created three months ago, which
they said was a pretext to abolish agrarian reform in their
country and give way to the purchase of lands by transnationals
and landowner groups.

coordinator for the association wilson campos said similar
programmes are being implemented in the rest of the region under
different pretexts. ''but we will not let them deprive us of the
lands,'' he added.

''we are not birds who live on air or water. we are men who need
land to live and eat,'' campos said.

campos, who hails from costa rica, also said farmers have to be
cautious in their actions to prevent violence and confrontation.
farmers make up 40 percent of the region's population and 80
percent of the main food producers, he said.

at present, the farmers are preparing a series of petitions which
includes a condemnation of structural adjustment policies
implemented in central america, a region which relies heavily on
agriculture and the exploitation of its natural resources.

they intend to present their petitions during the next summit of
central american presidents in panama this december where the
region's leaders will tackle a mainly agricultural agenda.

Child Slaves in Peru's Gold Rush

Every year, workers from the Peruvian highlands flock to the gold mines
in the jungles of the Madre de Dios region, east of the Andes. Most of
the workers are children who come in the hope that at the end of the
season they will return to their families with some money.

In reality, few return with much and some do not return at all: they
die from malaria, dysentery, rabies and accidents brought about
by bad living conditions and poor food. Some are killed: violence 
is a constant feature of the area. Those most at risk are street
children who have been lured to Madre de Dios by traffickers. No
one seems to know or care about them.

To register a death and bury a body officially in these areas is
very expensive and most cemeteries are clandestine: the graves are
mounds of earth hidden in the jungle, marked with wooden crosses.

The gold is found in the river beds and the concessions are along
the banks. The workers dig pits to reach the river gravel, and pan it
to extract the gold; mercury is used as an amalgam. The work is
arduous and the conditions unhealthy. Services are non-existent.

The Madre de Dios region has been relatively isolated and sparsely
populated until the last few decades. It is dense jungle, cut by
many rivers flowing from the Andes into the Amazon basin. The first
gold deposits were found in 1978.

A member of ASI who recently visited the area reports: `In the
highlands these children have no way of making a livlihood and so
they are lured by the stories of gold in the rain forest. Often
they go willingly to escape from the terrible conditions in the
highlands. When they get to the Madre de Dios they are easily
cheated and exploited.'

ASI reported on this problem back in 1985 but the exploitation 
continues. Clearly, until economic prospects for highland communities
improve, people - including children - will continue to seek their
fortune elsewhere. Several local organizations are looking for ways
to monitor the concessions, in particular to rescue young children
and return them to their home communities.

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo.  Aqui en los E.U. en general solo les
interesa los Estados Unidos.  Creen que en el mundo solo existen ellos y nada
mas.  Como tu dices, la cobertura es pesima.  Por ej. a quien le interesa saber
