Peruvian security forces carried out widespread attacks against protesters with “extrajudicial executions “and “widespread use of lethal ammunition” earlier this year while trying to contain mass protests, according to Amnesty International
The rights group researched the deaths of 25 people killed in the regions of Ayacucho, Apurimac and Puno between December 7, 2022 and February 9, 2023. In total, 49 civilians were killed during the protests. Amnesty International’s report found that many of the victims were younger than 21 years old, with six children among the cases documented.
“We hope justice is made and people respect us, they are calling us terrorists, vandals and that is not the truth of what happened in Ayacucho.” CNN has not verified the circumstances of these two deaths as described by Amnesty. Amnesty also mentions the death Beckhan Quispe, an 18-year-old football coach who was shot in the head in Andahuaylas, Apurimac region in December. His case was previously reported by CNN.
