Peru to declare state of emergency over protests | BBC News


The government of Peru is to declare a state of emergency in the capital Lima following widespread clashes between protesters and riot police.

The protests have left a 32-year-old man dead and more than 100 people injured, including many police officers.

Wednesday’s demonstrations were organised by mainly young Peruvians who demand that the country’s political class do more to combat high levels of crime and corruption.

President Jerí said the protest had been infiltrated by criminals set on causing chaos and launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the protester’s death.
