A clash between police and protesters in Peru’s northern coastal town of Sechura over a planned natural gas pipeline has left a 24-year-old dead and 17 injured, six of them police officers. No details on what exactly caused the demonstrators’s death have been released so far. Protesters, many of them fishermen, blocked a bridge and threw stones at vehicles. Police say they tried to disperse the crowd with tear gas, but had to resort to firearms. Around 600 protesters are reported to have stormed the police station. Sechura fishermen are protesting the pipeline project due to fears that their livelihood is under threat.
