Ecuador Analyzes Napo Curfew
The Ecuadorian Congress is dissecting Thursday President Alfredo Palacio´s decision to order a State of Emergency in the Amazonian Napo province, following the oil strike started February 20.

The legislature will evaluate Palacio´s decree banning all citizen rights in that area, whose people stopped all activities to demand funds for social construction projects.

Napo Deputy Domingo Tanguila denounced the violent police suppression on a demonstration and demanded from the Parliament annulment of the curfew.

Tanguila called the protest legitimate because the Executive has neither paid out the promised budgeted resources for social building works, nor finished the Tena airport and built roads.

The emergency state was ordered hours after three people were wounded by the police while storming the Heavy Crude Oil Pipeline pumping system.
