Event

Activists plan to demonstrate and march in central Lima May 7 against government corruption and other issues. Protesters will gather at El Campo de Marte from 15:00 before marching to Paseo de los Heroes Navales, where they may continue to rally through the evening. Hundreds of people could participate in the demonstration.

Heightened security, as well as localized business and transport disruptions, are likely in central Lima through the evening of May 7. Clashes between police and protesters are possible, especially if activists become overly disruptive.

Advice

Avoid the demonstration due to possible clashes. Allow additional time to reach destinations in central Lima the evening of May 7. Seek alternative routes to circumvent the protest sites and march route. If violence occur, immediately leave the area and seek shelter in a nongovernmental building.
