SUBJECT: GOP TEMPORARILY HALTS ERADICATION AFTER COCALERO 
PROVOKED CONFRONTATION 
 
 
Sensitive but Unclassified. Please protect accordingly. 
 
1. (SBU) Summary: On 9/11 some 300 cocaleros attacked police 
officers protecting coca eradicators in San Martin.  Two 
police officers were injured in the scuffle, one with shotgun 
wounds, as were a number of protesters.  A group of doctors, 
a prosecutor, and cocalero Congresswoman Nancy Obregon flew 
to the scene to investigate.  Obregon publicly 
(mis)characterized the event as "police brutality."  The 
Prime Minister, who two weeks ago initiated a dialog with 
cocalero leaders including Obregon, called for a temporary 
halt to eradication operations.  Eradication operations are 
expected to resume.  NAS will continue to support GOP 
eradication operations in less conflictive areas through the 
November elections.  Programmed eradication is at 9,000 
hectares.  End Summary. 
 
2. (U) After months of peaceful eradication, on 9/11 300 
cocaleros attacked 105 national police (PNP) protecting 199 
coca eradicators (CORAH) in Sion, San Martin department.  The 
police restored control after 30 minutes, and eradication 
continued.   Protesters slung rocks and fired shotguns at the 
eradication team.  Cocalero demonstrators injured two police, 
one with gunshot wounds; both are now in stable condition. 
 
3. (SBU) Union Por el Peru (UPP) pro-coca congresswoman Nancy 
Obregon of San Martin falsely portrayed the cocalero-provoked 
confrontation as police brutality and claimed 30 protesters 
were injured by the police, including with gunshot wounds. 
(Note: Ongoing investigations indicate the police fired 
teargas and not rifles.  The investigative team reported 
bruises and contusions among a few cocaleros.  Most media 
reports have disseminated Obregon's inflated numbers and 
mischaracterizations.  End Note.)  On 9/12 a delegation that 
included Obregon and pro-coca Andean Parliament member Elsa 
Malpartida, regional police leaders, a prosecutor, and 3 
doctors visited the site.  According to CORAH reports, upon 
arrival the police commander and Obregon informed the 
eradicators that Prime Minister Jorge Del Castillo had 
ordered the suspension of eradication, which CORAH respected. 
 Vice Minister of Interior Dardo Lopez Dolz told NAS Director 
that eradication would resume on after weekend consultations 
on procedures; subsequent conversations with the GOP confirm 
that eradication will resume but with no definite timetable. 
(Note: PM del Castillo began a dialogue with cocalero leaders 
including Obregon on 9/1.  The next meeting is scheduled for 
9/17. End Note.) 
 
4. (U) Recently named Executive Director of the national 
anti-drug commission (DEVIDA) Romulo Pizarro told press on 
9/13 that eradication would continue.  Minister of Interior 
Pilar Mazzetti was called to the Defense and Counternarcotics 
Congressional Committee to answer questions about the 
incident.  Mazzetti said she would investigate if there were 
abuses, but believed police actions were within the law. 
 
5. Comment: The confrontation was not significant in 
comparison to past protests, particularly those before June 
2005 when a new cadre of police trained in NAS-supported 
academies began prtecting eradicators.  The GOP decision to 
halt eradication underscores the absence of either a clear 
coca policy or a strategy to deal with cocaleros.  It also 
suggests a paramount interest in avoiding social conflict 
before the November elections.  Obregon knows this and is 
stirring up cocalero protests by threatening to pull out of 
the dialog unless eradication is stopped.  When eradication 
resumes next week, we expect to target more remote areas of 
San Martin.
