Peru declares a state of Emergency in capital, in regions of Cusco, Puno and in port of Callao
LIMA is under a state of emergency today, along with three other regions, as the government responded to weeks-long protests against President Dina Boluarte that have seen at least 42 people killed.
The state of emergency, in force for 30 days, authorizes the army to intervene to maintain order and suspends several constitutional rights such as freedom of movement and assembly, according to a decree published in the official gazette.
It covers Lima and the regions of Cusco and Puno, as well as the port of Callao* adjacent to the capital.
Supporters of ousted president Pedro Castillo have taken to the streets and blocked roads across the South American country since December, demanding fresh elections and the removal of Boluarte, who has refused to step down.
Protests have been announced for tomorrow in Lima as well as the marginalized southern Andean regions, which have been the epicenter of the unrest.
