Reminding the Peruvian Government
Although Perú has always been strongly independent, international pressure has worked in the past to rectify human rights abuses, e.g. the La Cantuta coverup. One should never underestimate the power of words.
The Peruvian government really does care about your opinion. So let them hear it, loud and clear! This page details whom to contact, how to write them, and offers advice on writing effective letters.
