A Peruvian indigenous group will release an estimated 150 tourists it held for over a day in a protest over alleged government inaction on oil spills in a river, local authorities said Friday.
The indigenous group, from the Urarinas district in Loreto province in Peru's Amazon, had held the tourists - which included a handful of U.S. and European nationals - to raise awareness about the oil spillage, according to local media.
The chief of the indigenous group, Watson Trujillo, confirmed the agreement to local media group RPP. Among those taken while traveling in river boats was a one-month-old child, people with disabilities, and pregnant women, she said.
