A group of eight students and two advisors from the University of Arizona Presbyterian Campus Ministry (PCM) ― along with 13 Peruvian partners and youth and PC(USA) mission worker Jed Koball― were attacked in La Oroya, Peru March 16 as they painted a mural near the troubled Doe Run Company smelter there.
The 200 attackers were allegedly Doe Run employees.
There were no serious injuries and the student group returned safely to Lima ― four hours west of La Oroya ― the following day. The Arizona students returned to the U.S. March 20.
