La Puya: Day After the Eviction

Guillermo Castellanos (middle), from La Choleña, helps stock the new La Puya peaceful resistance camp with food and water supplies. The day after being violently evicted by the Guatemalan Police, members of the La Puya peaceful resistance set up a new camp roughly ten meters from the previous camp and the entrance to the El Tambor gold mine. 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. La Puya, San Pedro Ayampuc, Guatemala. May 24, 2014.
