More than 50 people have been killed in Peru in protests that started a month ago, after President Pedro Castillo tried to dissolve the nation’s Congress, and ended up getting arrested and removed from office himself. The protests began in areas of the country where most people are of Indigenous descent and had overwhelmingly voted for Castillo. And now, they are growing in the capital city of Lima, as people from the nation’s Andean highlands travel to the nation’s coastal capital to have their voices heard. Manuel Rueda reports from Lima.
