ONE YEAR OF RESISTANCE AGAINST THE COUP TO PERUVIAN PRESIDENT PEDRO CASTILLO

Join us for a hybrid event as we commemorate that it has been one year since the coup détat against President Pedro Castillo in Peru. On December 7, 2022, the Peruvian Congress, under orders from powerful groups and transnational corporations, carried out a coup détat against the legitimate president Pedro Castillo. Castillo is the first political prisoner from the dictatorship of the Dina Boluarte government in Peru. Dina Boluarte is the head of the genocidal government which has responded with brutal repression during protests against the government and the coup détat. Dina Boluarte’s government has murdered more than 80 Peruvians, left thousands injured, hundreds detained or disappeared during the brutal repression. The government response has been physical attacks and extrajudicial executions of the indigenous communities.
