Protesters are blocking access to Glencore’s Antapaccay copper mine in the Cusco region of Peru, a local community leader and a source close to the company said on Monday.

Residents of nearby towns on Sunday began blocking roads to the mine to protest a major expansion project, said community leader Flavio Huanque.
