In Peru, mass protests continue following the ouster and jailing of President Pedro Castillo, with at least 25 protesters killed by the police and military. The Peruvian education and culture ministers have resigned in protest of the killings. Patricia Correa, Peru’s outgoing education minister, said on Twitter, “The death of compatriots has no justification. State violence cannot be disproportionate and cause death.”

Peru remains under a nationwide state of emergency suspending many constitutional rights and imposing curfews. Newly installed Peruvian President Dina Boluarte is resisting calls to step down.

President Dina Boluarte: “I’m only fulfilling the constitutional mandate. There’s a group saying, 'Dina to step down.' But what will be solved by my quitting? Is the problem solved? The problem won’t be solved. We will be firm until Congress approves to bring forward elections.”
