“Peru’s Interim President Jose Jeri has declared a state of emergency in the capital, Lima, to stem a wave of protests that contributed to the recent downfall of his predecessor. In a televised message on Tuesday, Jeri said the emergency in the city would last 30 days. … Under the state of emergency, the government can send the army to patrol the streets and restrict freedom of assembly and other rights. … Dina Boluarte was removed as president by Peru’s Congress on October 10 after an impeachment during which lawmakers said she had been unable to tackle the crime wave. Jeri, the parliament speaker, replaced her immediately and will serve as interim president until July next year.” (10/22/25)
