Radio La Voz

Radio La Voz is a community radio station based in Bagua, Amazonas, Peru. It gained national and international attention in 2009 when the Peruvian government temporarily shut it down, accusing it of inciting violence during the Bagua conflict, a deadly confrontation between Indigenous protesters and police over land and resource rights. The station is known for advocating for Indigenous rights and providing a platform for marginalized voices in the region. Its closure was widely criticized by press freedom organizations as an attack on free speech. Radio La Voz continues to operate, focusing on local issues and community concerns.
