First modification:
A delegation from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights arrived in Peru to verify the human rights situation in a context of violent political crisis since the removal of President Castillo. Two more people were killed in clashes on Monday.
Headed by the rapporteur for Peru, Stuardo Ralón, a delegation from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) has begun a two-day tour of Peru in Lima. After a meeting with President Dina Boluarte, the IACHR, represented by Stuardo Ralón and Commissioner Joel Hernandez, will visit Ica, Arequipa and other places “to verify the situation of human rights in Peru,” he told R.F.I. Stuardo Ralón upon arrival in Peru.
This visit occurs in a context of deep crisis since the former leftist president Pedro Castillo was dismissed on December 7 due to a failed coup. Since then, there have been demonstrations and roadblocks against President Dina Boluarte.
The violence does not abate and this Monday 12 people have died in clashes between law enforcement and anti-government protesters in Juliaca, in southern Peru, reported the Ombudsman’s Office.
“The main concern of the IACHR at this time is the violence that has caused the death of people, acts that we have condemned. Y we are concerned that the inter-American standards of necessity and proportionality of the use of force are not being used”, Stuardo Ralón also told RFI.
The Peruvian prosecutor’s office opened an investigation on Tuesday for the alleged crime of “genocide” against President Dina Boluarte, who imposed a curfew in the Andean region of Puno, in the south, to stop the protests that left 40 dead in a month.
