Anti-government protesters gather at Dos de Mayo Square in Peru's capital Lima, after President Dina Boluarte called for a "national truce" to end weeks of unrest that has left at least 46 people dead. IMAGES
Hundreds of protesters block the Alfredo Rodriguez Ballon International Airport and the Pan-American Highway in Arequipa, Peru's second largest city, against the ousting of former President Pedro Castillo and despite new President Dina Boluarte's announcement to bring forward the general elections to April 2024 instead of 2026. Protesters have demanded fresh elections and the resignation of new President Dina Boluarte, following the arrest of her leftist predecessor Castillo last week after he attempted to dissolve Congress and rule by decree.

For a second day, protesters clash with police in Lima during a demonstration against the new President Dina Boluarte, demanding Pedro Castillo be freed. Former President Castillo was impeached and arrested after attempting to stage a coup. IMAGES

Pedro Castillo is transferred from the Police Headquarters to a police facility in east Lima. Castillo was ousted by lawmakers and arrested after trying to dissolve the South American country's Congress in a move widely condemned as an attempted coup. The dizzying series of events in a country long prone to political upheaval resulted in even more history, with Vice President Dina Boluarte later becoming Peru's first woman president. IMAGES
