This is a petition with a difference: it is a poem (with several specific 'asks' at the bottom).
The aim is to encourage as many people as possible to sign the petition and then send it to Peru's president on the 5th of June.
It was on the 5th of June last year, near Bagua, northern Peru, that Peruvian police attacked indigenous protesters. Many people were killed, hundreds injured.
The petition/poem details the various excuses made and lies told by Peru's government in response to the events at Bagua.
It names the officials in power at the time: president Garcia, prime minister Simon, Minister of the Interior Cabanillas, and Minister of Justice Pastor.
The petition/poem is an adaptation of a poem called 'To whom it may concern' by Adrian Mitchell.
