La Puya: Day After the Eviction

The day after being violently evicted by the Guatemalan Police, a member of the La Puya peaceful resistance disobeys Police orders and enters the old camp in order to recover some belongings. She states: "The cops did not pay for these things, so I don't care, I am going to recover them." After two years and two months of peacefully blocking the entrance to U.S.-based Kappes, Cassiday & Associates (KCA) El Tambor gold mine, local residents of San Jose del Golfo and San Pedro Ayampuc were violently evicted by Guatemalan Police forces on May 23, 2014, in order to introduce heavy machinery inside the industrial site.
