Miguel Aguilar has kindly translated the text of the original petition into English ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Miguel Aguilar <[log in to unmask]> Date: 15 November 2013 02:18 Subject: Re: [ARCH-JUSTICE] destruction of inca site To: Umberto Albarella <[log in to unmask]> THanks Umberto. I wrote this letter in english in order to let you know Little more about it: Dear collegues The Inca site of Puruchuco located east of Lima, the capital of Peru, its in extreme danger. The Peruvian's Minister of Culture (!) just approved its "rescue"which is basicly the destruction of the site to build a highway which will be just useful for private bussines like Malls and the Football Soccer Stadium. Please help us to preserve this site via sending the petition to the Peruvian President, the former (always) militar Ollanta Humala and to the Minister of Culture, Dr. Diana Alvarez-Calderon Gallo, the main responsables of this attempt against cultural heritage and the human rights to the past to the Quechua descendants in Peru. Please support this cause if you agree and sign the petition here (even if you don't understand spanish but you want it to know someday the evidence of our past).
