From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A Peruvian general, Rodolfo Robles, who has taken refuge in the US embassy, said nine students and a professor killed last July had been murdered by an intelligence unit operating with the approval and knowledge of army chief General Nicolas Hermoza, Reuter reports from Lima.
'The crime of La Cantuta (university) was committed by a special intelligence unit operating under the orders of Vladimiro Montesinos, virtual chief of the National Intelligence Service,' he said in a hand-written document. But the army said 'General Robles has made grave charges against (the) army commander and other officials without proof to back them up.'
