The latest official balance raises to 25 the dead in clashes between protesters and security forces in Peru during the protests that began after the departure of President Pedro Castillo from power.

The Lima Province Regional Health Directorate (Diresa) has announced the death of one more person due to clashes at the Ayacucho airport between protesters, who were trying to take over the terminal, against the Peruvian Armed Forces.

The latest deaths take place amid strong protests taking place across Peru following the ouster and arrest of former President Castillo on December 7. The demonstrators ask President Dina Boluarte for the dissolution of Congress and the calling of new general elections.

The Peruvian government has decreed a state of emergency at the national level for a period of 30 days as a response to the protests in support of Castillo. Likewise, the Executive has declared an emergency in the National Road Network, allowing the Army to take to the streets in an effort to protect the country’s strategic points.
