IG news Update,Peru has extended a state of emergency for another month in the capital Lima and two southern regions where deadly anti-government protests have sparked the country’s worst violence in 20 years. Images of those killed during the latest protests against Bolvart’s government are displayed at the Lima Cathedral on Sunday. Global Affairs reiterated its advice to Canadians in Peru to avoid demonstrations and large gatherings and not attempt to cross road barriers. “He’s a hypocrite,” protester Tania Serra said to shouts from the crowd, which at times scuffled with police in anti-riot gear. Protesters have demanded that Boluaarte step down, and that Castillo, who had been arrested for “rebellion”, be released.
