Inflamed: Peru Protests Intensify as Government Cracks Down
There have been at least 48 deaths in Peru since early December when protests broke out when the Peruvian Congress removed President Pedro Castillo on Dec. 7. Castillo was arrested and is being held in pre-trial detention, facing rebellion charges after he tried to illegally dissolve the legislature to avoid a planned impeachment vote. Clashes with security forces have led to the worst outbreak of violence within the nation in the past 20 years. The Global Current takes a deep dive into these issues with analysts Jimmy Murray and Emmett Bikales, and we round off the episode with News Briefer Jacqueline Perez Garcia.
