The measures were taken in connection with the unrest that broke out after the ouster of President Pedro Castillo.
Peruvian authorities imposed a 30-day state of emergency on the country on December 15 due to unrest against the backdrop of the removal of President Pedro Castillo from power. It was reported by the radio station Radio Programas del Perú.
It noted that the measures taken were designed to maintain order and “guarantee the safety of thousands of families.” Police units are located at strategic points, which, in the event of a complication of the situation, rely on the support of the army.
Peruvian Minister of Defense Alberto Otarola emphasized that the state of emergency does not prevent various events, meetings, celebrations, concerts or fairs.
Restrictions are possible only in case of emergency, and a curfew is “according to the situation and where necessary.”
It can be recalled that on December 7, the country’s parliament announced Castillo’s impeachment for “moral failure.” After a few hours, the politician was detained by the police, by court decision he was placed in a pre-trial detention center.
The former head of state was accused of an attempt on the constitutional order and an attempted coup.
After the removal of the politician from office, large protests began in Peru. Demonstrators demand early elections.
The prosecutor asked for 18 months in prison for the former president of Peru
