QUITO -- Indian groups in Ecuador started blocking highways before dawn Tuesday in protest against the new mining law, while Interior Minister Fernando Bustamante asked that the demonstrations be carried out peacefully.
The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador, or Conaie, and some environmental groups called for nationwide protests against the new law, which they believe will harm the environment and favor multinational mining companies.
