LAST week, Amnesty International published an 86-page document regarding the series of human rights violations committed by the Peruvian state during the protests that took place between December 2022 and March 2023.
During this period, when tens of thousands took to the streets in rage against the coup carried out against president Pedro Castillo, more than 50 people died and thousands were injured.
The report alleges that Dina Boluarte, the de facto president of Peru following the coup, as well as other senior state officials, either planned the police and military operations that violated the human rights of thousands of people protesting the coup or deliberately failed to stop the publicly known crimes.
