Intense, fiery, and deadly unrest has unfolded across Lima, Peru in recent days, and the government has declared a national emergency on December 14 as it attempts to quell violent protests over President Pedro Castillo’s dethronement.

The rights of “personal security and freedom” have been suspended across the country for 30 days.

Various footage from December 14 shows how police from the Andean nation fire tear gas as protesters try to push past them during their demonstrations.

“Peru cannot overflow with blood,” Peru’s new president Dina Boluarte said Wednesday.

Boluarte was sworn in last week hours after Castillo ouster.

Police formed a line to stop pro-Castillo protesters from accessing Av. Carlos Zavala Loayza. Protestors begin to push and police fire tear gas, dispersing the protesters. Protests are happening daily in Lima after President Castillo was removed from office by Congress.

Thousands of police march through central Lima towards Plaza San Martín this afternoon in anticipation of anti government protests, some of which have turned violent on other nights. Protesters are calling for the release of Castillo and new elections
