Peru is seeing some of its worst violence in decades, which erupted last month following the ousting of former President Pedro Castillo, as protesters who oppose the current government call for political change in the country.

In December, a state of emergency was imposed, airports and highways became the site of some clashes, and hundreds of foreign tourists were stranded in the country amid the chaos. To date, dozens of people have died in clashes with security forces, and human rights groups allege that authorities used excessive force against protests, including firearms. The army says protesters have used improvised explosives and weapons, Reuters reports.

The ensuing violence has seen hundreds injured, and the country’s ombudsman said at least 49 people have died since the protests began. In January, Peru’s prosecutor launched an investigation into Boluarte, Otárola, and other key ministers for the alleged crime of “genocide, qualified homicide, and serious injuries” in relation to the bloodshed. Boluarte has said she will cooperate with the probe.

This is wrong, those are not protesters but terrorists! They killed a police and burned him alive, would it be possible in the US?

Peru still has citizens? If so, not many as most have already crossed our border illegally.
