Prolonged Peru mine protest ends after dispatch of soldiers

Peru said on Friday a group of indigenous communities had lifted a protest against Southern Copper Corp's Cuajone copper mine that had forced a suspension of production for more than 50 days.

The government had declared a state of emergency in the region earlier in the week, sending soldiers to lift a protest organized by a group of indigenous communities.
