German-Peruvian actress Q'Orianka Kilcher listens during a news conference in Lima June 12, 2009. Kilcher arrived in Peru to meet indigenous people and to help defend their rights after riots in Bagua. Peru's Congress on June 10 suspended two land-use laws that sparked clashes in which 60 people were killed last week, but indigenous people opposed to development in the Amazon jungle vowed to keep protesting.
