Several people were injured and more than a score were arrested when police broke up an anti-mining protest near a Barrick Gold-operated mine in the northwestern Argentine province of San Juan, where a cyanide spill occurred last month, demonstrators said Friday.
The violent incident occurred after a court on Friday morning ordered a group of local residents and environmental activists to stop blocking an access route to that gold mine, known as Veladero.
