Dozens injured in Peru anti-crime protest after president impeachment

Lima: Violence at a rally in Peru’s capital on Wednesday left dozens injured, said President Jose Jeri, whose accession days ago has failed to stamp out angry protests against the country’s political class. Youth-led demonstrations brought thousands of Peruvians to the streets in Lima and several other cities, frustrated by the authorities’ failure to resolve a worsening crime crisis. “Update: 55 police officers injured” and “20 civilians injured,” Jeri said on social media, updating earlier figures from the clashes near Congress in central Lima.
