In Peru, at least 17 people were killed Monday after Peruvian security forces opened fire at anti-government protesters in the city of Juliaca. At least two teenagers were among the dead. Protesters are demanding that interim President Dina Boluarte resign. Some 40 people have died nationwide since mass mobilizations erupted in Peru last month following the ouster and arrest of leftist former President Pedro Castillo. Police in Juliaca reportedly opened fire as protesters tried to shield themselves with metal plates.

Injured protester: “I was holding my camera when a police officer asked me to kneel while pointing a gun at me. Then I heard a shot, and I felt my foot blocked. Then I felt a cramp. I took four steps, and I fell on the ground because I couldn’t walk.”

Meanwhile, Peru’s new government has banned former Bolivian President Evo Morales from entering Peruvian territory, in response to Morales’s support for Pedro Castillo. Morales has also accused Dina Boluarte’s government of human rights violations against protesters.
