Amazon hostage-taking: In the Peruvian Amazon, tribal people have taken dozens of tourists hostage to protest government inaction after an oil spill from a pipeline.According to the information, the foreign holidaymakers come from Switzerland, the USA, Spain, France, Great Britain and Switzerland.Previously, the indigenous people had already blocked the passage for all ships on the river to draw attention to the oil slick.At the end of September, the government declared a 90-day state of emergency in the region, which is home to around 2,500 indigenous people.The 800-kilometer Norperuano Pipeline, owned by state-owned Petroperu, was built around 40 years ago to transport crude oil from the Amazon to the coast."
