A group travelling on a river boat in Peru have reportedly been taken hostage in the Amazon rainforest. It is believed that British nationals are involved.
Local media in the area are reporting that indigenous people Cuninico in the Loreto province, Peru's northernmost region, are trying to get attention from the state after constant oil spills in the Cuninico River. It is not clear how many people are involved in the situation, with reports varying between 70 and 150.
Watson Trujillo, the leader of the Cuninico community, told Radio Programas del Perú (RPP Radio): "[We want] to call the government's attention with this action, there are foreigners and Peruvians, there are about 70 people."
