| This is an emergency proposal of $500 for imc peru. None of them speak  
| english so i've been working with them on translating the proposal in  
| to english. But i'm busy and haven't had time to finish the  
| translation. I feel really bad about it. So this is a proposal from imc  
| peru. They wanted $2000 but there isn't enough time for that. The state  
| of emergency is right now, and the Cusco Encuentro starts in 3 days.  
| Hopefully we've figured out a donation of a couple laptops which should  
| help their computer situation.
| 
| So the deadline for this is June 13th. It's $500 of emergency funds for  
| imc peru.
| 
| If somebody has time and speaks both english and spanish, please  
| translate the rest. They also have a spreasheet of what they would  
| purchase with the full $2000, but i'm not including that because this  
| is just the emergency proposal to cover the state of emergency,  
| potential general strike, and Cusco encuentro.
| 
| in solidarity,
| evan

| 
| Compañer at s INDYMEDIA, greetings and good health from IMC PERÚ!!!!!
| 
| While we were preparing this proposal a state of emergency was  
| declaired throughout our country. Origionally we were writing an  
| invitation for people to come to the First Indigenous Encuentro  
| TAWAINTISUYU –ABYA YALA- PACHA which will be taking place in Cusco,  
| Peru the 10th through the 24th of June. We still extend the invitation.  
| But our reality has changed. Now the need and work of IMC Peru has  
| become more dificult and we urgently need the support of our fellow  
| IMC's.
| 
| The Current Situation:
| The state of emergency is evidence of the incapacity of the  
| governmental power to provide political solutions. The social protests  
| and mobalizations in Peru are demanding that the president, Alejandro  
| Toledo, keep his campaign promises. It's important for you to know that  
| during the 30 day State of Emergency that many rights have been  
| suspended: the freedom to assemble and meet, the right against searches  
| of people's homes, the freedom to travel within the country, the right  
| to due process for arrests and detenions. Right now 12 of the 24  
| proviences of Peru are under direct military control. The government  
| has said that there is some possiblity that they will lift the state of  
| emergency but for now it continues.
| 
| One of the departments under military control is Puno, along the border  
| with Bolivia. There a student from the National University of the  
| Antiplano, Johny Edy Quilca Cruz, 22, was shot and killed in the  
| protests. More than 40 people have bullit wounds from the police and  
| army opening fire with live amunition on the protests and 30 more were  
| injured when the government attacked the protesters with clubs. In  
| addition, four students from the Puno area have been disapeared. In  
| Barranca, a province south of the capital Lima, the police also opened  
| fire with live amunition on the crowd, hospitalizing 16, some of them  
| in serious condition. By the third day of the state of emergency the  
| government admits to 204 arrests. The teachers union, SUTEP, says that  
| they've had 150 of their teachers arrested.
| 
| Even though the there has been a declaired state of emergency and the  
| nationwide teachers strike has been declaired illegal, SUTEP, and other  
| social movements are continuing the strikes and protests.
| 
| Despite the mobalization of Tuesday, June 3, which was called by the  
| Central Union of Peruvian Workers (CGT), to lift the state of emergency  
| drew multitudes of particpants in both Lima and the proviences, the  
| government has continued it's repression and refused to release the  
| teachers. In the proviences the protests are continuing despite the  
| military occupying the streets. In Lima, after what happened in Puno,  
| the military have temporarily stopped the major plazas and  
| intersections through out the city.
| 
| First Indigenous Encuentro, Tawa Inti Suyu, Abya Yala
| Pacha of Indigenous youth and communities, Cusco.
| 
| This encuentro hopes to develop a space for social movements,  
| indigenous and non-indigenous, african-adeanian, and people who are  
| economocially exploited, politically disempowered, socially oppressed,  
| legally disenfranchised, subject to racial descrimination, militarily  
| massacared, culturally devalued and subjugated, spirtually and  
| religiously persecuited under a system of euro-colonalism. In this  
| space, to consolidate a working ideological, political, and cultural  
| platform of Tawantinsuyu Abya Yala, all of our América.
| 
| It's relevence is the need in a sense to "rescesitate" the origional  
| culture of ABYA YALA-PACHA (América) and the search for an inculsivity  
| within the realities of different countries, which refelects a new  
| social politics and economy.
| 
| This Encuentro is logistically self-managed and self-financed. Trying  
| not to depend financing with strings attached. In this event, everybody  
| speaks and represents themselves and not as the voice of "any political  
| party, nor ideology which is external, nor the church, nor any  
| religious sect, nor any NGO, nor the colonia state, nor campesino or  
| indigenous organization."
| 
| How can this encuentro take place under the state of emergency? How can  
| an imc function to cover the encuentro and to provide protection for it  
| through the prescence of independent media, and, on the other hand, how  
| can we reinforce the work of imc peru? We do not know the answers to  
| these questions.
| 
| The call and program for the encuentro can be found at both
| www.qollasuyo.indymedia.org and in www.peru.indymedia.org
| 
| The work of IMC Perú:
| 
| * These days one of the areas which are focusing on are denoucing Human  
| Rights violations which are taking place under the State of Emergency  
| and spreading information about the acts of resistance in which both  
| the unions and general population are engaging. The Peru IMC is just  
| starting to get known within the country. But the technical and  
| economic limitations that we have to deal with now are making the work  
| quite dificult.
| 
| * On the other hand, we are asking, perhaps a little late, for  
| resources to esablish a media lab center to produce and desiminate  
| independent information in Cusco.
| 
| For this we have an urgent need of slidarity from all the IMC  
| collectives:
| 
| 1.- We invite you to join us in Cusco to help cover the encuentro and  
| resistance of the Peruvian people.
| 
| 3.- We need ongoing technical help with maintaining our website.
| 
| .... this is where i've gotten so far in the translation...
| 4.- El apoyo con recursos económicos, que permita el traslado de  
| compañeros a provincias, la realización de encuentros de difusión y la  
| elaboración de materiales de difusión: stikers, camisetas, afiches.
| 
| 5.- Envío de materiales de difusión disponibles en otros IMC’s: videos,  
| camisetas, etc.
| Tal vez, estos puntos sean demasiados, pero todo sus esfuerzos serán  
| muy valiosos para nosotros.
| 
| Para poder vincular directamente al mundo con lo que sucederá en Cuzco  
| agradeceríamos incluir en sus páginas un link que nos conecte  
| directamente.
| 
| Ante las actuales circunstancias:
| 
| Les pedimos a los imc’s de América que acompañen a las delegaciones  
| indígenas de sus países. Por otro lado, le sugerimos que las  
| delegaciones que lleguen al Perú vayan comunicándose a través de la  
| página. Estaremos atentos en su entrada, estadía y salida del Perú.  
| Aquí los sitios de Internet son muy populares, su costo está entre 1,50  
| soles o 2 soles (1 dólar: 3,50 soles)
| 
| Todas las propuestas y apoyos técnicos son urgentes¡¡¡¡¡¡ la  
| información estará en español, así que l at s traductores están muy  
| bienvenidos.
| 
| Para los que no puedan venir
| Esperamos que continúen cerca nuestro y nos apoyen en este desafío (en  
| la red, desde lo técnico, con plata, equipos, comida, música, todo nos  
| es necesario), cubriendo las salidas de las delegaciones desde los  
| diferentes países, queremos trabajar con todos los IMC’s!!!!! Por eso  
| esperamos sus comentarios, apoyos y manos para chambear (trabajar).
| 
| A los que lleguen al Encuentro de Cusco
| 
| Les solicitamos traigan todo lo que se pueda compartir audios, videos,  
| impresos y sus experiencias para poder trabajar entre todos los que  
| estemos en Perú y con otr at s personas. El propósito es compartir,  
| intercambiar experiencias y animar a otras personas a fortalecer el IMC  
| Perú.
| 
| Por eso es importante que confirmen su llegada: cuántos, quiénes son  
| (enviar los correo de todos para continuar coordinado), dónde, cómo y  
| cuándo llegan ...y muy importante, los equipos técnicos que traen y los  
| que necesiten. Por favor envíen toda la información y las preguntas, lo  
| antes posible a indymediaperu at yahoo.com con CC a illatecce at hotmail.com.
| 
| Datos generales sobre Cusco:
| La ciudad del Cuzco, está situada en los Andes sur orientales, en el  
| valle del río Huatanay, a 3.360 metros de altitud y tiene 278 590  
| habitantes (1998). Es importante cuidarse de los efectos de la altura,  
| aunque no a todas las personas les perjudica la escasez de oxigeno.  
| Cuando lleguen, descansar, en lo posible el primer día, tomar mucha  
| agua, mascar coca o muña...son muy buenos para estabilizar la falta de  
| oxígeno. El clima en esta ciudad en algo severo, varia rápidamente de  
| cálido a extremadamente frío por las noches, las lluvias son muy  
| frecuentes. Es necesario por lo tanto prever abrigo para el frío y para  
| la lluvia
| Adjuntamos el presupuesto considerado para el establecimiento del  
| centro de producción de información en Cusco.
| Desde ya, agradecemos infinitamente su solidaridad y apoyo.
| Estamos esperando su comunicación!
