Script:
This footage by a Peruvian law student captures the tense shift from calm to chaos outside Lima’s Palacio de Justicia during the October 15 national protests against corruption and insecurity.
Moments earlier, young demonstrators were seen chanting and laughing peacefully—countering government claims that protesters were violent instigators.
Suddenly, riot police fired tear gas indiscriminately, sending crowds running through clouds of smoke.
Eyewitnesses accuse authorities of using excessive force, with reports of two protesters killed by gunfire.
The student’s firsthand footage, now drawing attention from international media, highlights the growing #GeneracionZ movement demanding accountability from Prime Minister José Jerí’s administration.
