Peru – international solidarity urgently needed!

AT THE time of writing, the latest shocking reports from Peru show that over 70 protesters have been killed during the ongoing mass mobilisations for democracy in the country.

Thousands more have been injured, and the protest movements as a whole demonised and criminalised, not only by the coup regime but also by much of the ruling class that supports it, and inevitably their mouthpieces in the corporate media.

Yet the resistance movements continue to mobilise to an inspirational level, as witnessed by recent national strikes calling for the illegitimate President Dina Boluarte to resign, and in shows of inspiring bravery protests continue.
