Peru: Protest in Lima on June 24

Event

Activists plan to protest near Plaza San Martin from 17:00 June 24. Marches through nearby streets, including towards the Congress building, are also planned. The action has been organized to oppose a decision by Congress to bar the former national prosecutor, Zoraida Avalos, from holding public office. A few hundred people are likely to attend the gathering.

Heightened security is likely in the area during the protest. Official security deployments and potential road closures could result in localized travel delays. Confrontations between protesters and the police are possible.

Advice

Avoid the gathering as a standard precaution. Heed the instructions of local officials. Plan for some road travel delays near Plaza San Martin through the evening June 24.
