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.
