Death Toll in Peru Rises to 47 Amid Extraordinary Violence

None took part in the demonstrations that have consumed Peru for a month. But all were killed in southern Peru on Monday, casualties in what became the deadliest day of clashes between protesters and government forces since the country erupted in violence last month.

In a matter of hours, at least 17 civilians and one police officer were killed in the chaos of demonstrations, according to the country’s ombudsman office, an extraordinary spasm of violence that complicated the new president’s attempt to stabilize the country. » | Mitra Taj, Julie Turkewitz and Genevieve Glatsky | Tuesday, January 10, 2023
